Cystat explained that the industrial turnover index reflects monthly changes in turnover across mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity supply, water supply and materials recovery, with 2021 as the base year.

“In the base year, the average of the turnover indices for the twelve months is 100.0,” the service noted, adding that a monthly index of 112.4 indicates that turnover is 12.4 per cent higher than the 2021 monthly average.

Data are collected by telephone or e-mail, starting five to ten days after the end of each reference period and normally completed within two months.

All enterprises with turnover of €2 million and above, or employing 20 or more persons, are fully covered, while smaller enterprises are surveyed through sampling.
