employees.

than 100 (a third of the previous quarterly data is conditionally distributed for each month of
the reporting quarter).
More than 500 types of representative goods are used monthly when calculating IPI. IPI is a
weighted average of the change in the quantity of output produced by industrial enterprises of
any legal form and taking into account individuals involved in the production of industrial
products.
As weights for aggregating primary data, the values of the cost of production for the previous
year are used.

The Producer Price Index (PPI) data are disseminated as a chain-linked Laspeyres index and they
cover products from types of economic activities, including: mining, manufacturing, electricity,
water supply, that in general is about 1500 types of products and services.
Territorially, the PPI covers 17 oblasts, the cities of Almaty, Shymkent and Astana. Price
surveys collect base prices on a monthly basis (totaling more than 6000 price quotations) by
activities, by products, and by stage of processing. The selection of producers for each region
is carried out on the basis of the sampling method of observation in accordance with the current
methodology.
The sampling frame has been steadily expanded to take account of changes in the structure of
production in the economy. The concepts, definitions, and classifications used to compile the
PPI are in broad conformity with the guidelines contained in the Producer Price Index Manual.
The PPI is based on the General Classification of Economic Activities (GCEA), which is
similar to the Standard Classification of Economic Activities of the European Community (NACE),
and the Statistical Classification of Industrial Products (goods, services) (SCIP) developed
from the European Union List of Industrial Products (PRODKOM).
To formulate basket weights is used the value of the industrial output of Kazakhstan’s
enterprises for determined year. The concepts and definitions consistent with those contained in
the PPI Manual are followed to specify the goods and services for which prices are collected on
a regular basis.
Data are not seasonally adjusted.
