Methodological note
In January 2017 we implemented some methodological changes regarding the output price indices such as
weights, the list of products and reporting units.
The weights are now based on the sales value data from the 2015 Annual Industry Report (IND-L)
recalculated to December 2016 prices.
The sample of the reporting units includes 470 enterprises which report monthly for 2,455 products. 395
enterprises report the prices for products sold on the domestic market and 247 enterprises for exported
products.
Detailed data
Detailed data and time series are available on the SI-STAT data portal, which enables simple browsing
