a In the case
of the seasonally adjusted volume index of industrial production, the impact of
different number of working days in a month and seasonally recurring factors
has been eliminated. It is calculated only in comparison with the previous
period.
b In the case
of the working-day adjusted volume index of industrial production, the impact
of different number of working days in a month has been eliminated. It is
calculated only in comparison with the corresponding period of the previous
year.
The statistics are based on the questionnaires
“Industry”, the submission date of which was 17.01.2018, and “Energy
production, sales and fuel consumption”, the submission date of which was
10.01.2018. Statistics Estonia published the monthly overview in 12 working days.
For the statistical activity “Production indices”, the main representative of
public interest is the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications,
commissioned by whom Statistics Estonia collects and analyses the data
necessary for conducting this statistical activity.
