Industrial Production m/m measures the volumes of manufactured goods and industrial sector activity in the given month compared to the previous one. Growth rates relative to the previous month are based on seasonally adjusted parameters. The index calculation includes manufacturing industry, mining and utilities. Construction is not included.
The index is to reflect a value added change in different industries. This means that prices received by companies at different stages of production must be deducted from the gross price in order to prevent double counting of production. In practice, production data are collected from different sources including deflated turnover, physical production data, intermediate consumption of raw materials and energy, labor input, etc. Most often the basic index calculation is based on the gross value of the output.
The index is benchmarked to a basis of 2010, where the Industrial Production Index for 2010 is set to 100. The Industrial Production Index is one of the most important indicators of short-term economic statistics for the euro area. Analysts use it to evaluate early changes in economic development, as well as to forecast the eurozone's GDP.
The indicator growth can have a positive effect on euro quotes.
