    Glossary

    The volume of industrial production in value terms is the cost of all finished products (products) produced by the enterprise, semi-finished products of its production (both from its own raw materials and materials, and from raw materials and materials of the customer), intended for sale to the side, its capital construction and its non-industrial divisions, issuing to its employees on account of wages, as well as works and services of an industrial nature, performed on orders.

    The volume of industrial production in physical terms is the output of specific types of products in physical terms. The volume of industrial production in physical terms is taken into account in terms of gross output, including products spent on industrial and production needs within a given enterprise and produced from raw materials supplied by the customer.

    The index of industrial production is a relative indicator that characterizes the change in the volume of industrial production in the periods being compared.

    Methodological notes

    The information base for the formation of indicators of industrial products (goods, services) is the primary data of nationwide statistical observations of industrial enterprises, enterprises with a secondary activity of "Industry", individual entrepreneurs, peasant or farm enterprises.

    To calculate the index of industrial production, a method is used based on the dynamics of physical indicators for an established set (basket) of representative goods, followed by a step-by-step aggregation of individual (commodity) indices into indices by types of economic activity. Indices for large populations are calculated as a weighted average of the constituent elements of these populations.
