Central Statistics Office Industrial Production Index
Background Notes
Introduction The monthly industrial production index monitors current trends in the volume of production of
industrial local units with three or more persons engaged. Previously indices were published to
base 1985 = 100 and using the old Nace 70 industrial classification. Starting with May 1999, the
indices are being published to base 1995 = 100 and using the NACE Rev. 1 classification. There
are, therefore, fairly large discontinuities vis-à-vis the former series but estimates have been
made for earlier periods to provide some degree of retrospection. The opportunity has been
taken to incorporate other changes as described below.
Sample
covered
The monthly survey which provides data for calculating the index covers the larger local units
which between them account for the bulk of industrial output – in general those which in the base
year 1995 had twenty or more persons engaged.
Methodology Individual sub-indices are compiled for each detailed NACE class. Further details on how this is
done will be published in a future issue of the Irish Statistical Bulletin. These sub-indices are
combined to provide the indices for broader sectoral groupings, using as weights for a sector the
gross value added at factor cost for all units in that sector covered in the 1995 Census of Indus-
trial Production. In the old system the value of net output for all units in a sector was used as the
weight. This change has been made to better reflect the relative contribution of each sector to the
change in value added at constant prices which is the primary purpose of the index.
Seasonal
Adjustment
The indices are adjusted using the multiplicative version of the X-11 Variant of the US Bureau
of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. This seasonal adjustment process is car-
ried out once a year using the latest (currently up to and including October 2000) monthly pro-
duction patterns available. Each index is independently seasonally adjusted i.e. the adjusted
indices of groupings of sectors are not systematically derivable as weighted averages of their
component parts.
Retrospection To enable comparisons to be made with earlier periods efforts have been made to re-cast indices
calculated under the previous system to take account of the changes between the old and new
systems. It must be emphasised that the results of this exercise are of an approximate nature par-
ticularly at the sector level. Re-casting the indices prior to May 1999 calculated under the old
system can give rise to some apparently anomalous effects; one particular consequence is that
year-on-year changes will differ slightly from those previously published.
NACE
classification
The descriptions of particular NACE Rev. 1 sectors are sometimes shown in abbreviated form in
the release. Fuller descriptions are given in recent Census of Industrial Production publications.
When making comparisons with data produced in previous monthly industrial production re-
leases (classified by NACE 70) it should be noted that the content of NACE Rev. 1 sectors can
be quite different from that of similarly-titled NACE 70 sectors.
