On 11 May, the source wrote (citation):
The Industrial Production & Turnover indices have been compiled with reference to base year 2015=100. The new series has been calculated using updated weights from the Census of Industrial Production 2015 and the rebased Wholesale Price Index 2015 = 100.
The corpus of series in this vintage has been reduced by the source. In the data table, the three NACE activity aggregates [10, 11], [20, 21] and [26, 27] are now marked as follows (citation):
.. indicates that the observation is missing or fall under the limit of discretion/uncertainty.
In response, we have:
- Archived the predecessors (2010=100, January 2010 to February 2018) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, by marking metadata as "discontinued," and by segregating in the catalog.
- Created replacements (2015=100) as possible; some categories have been terminated by the source. They start January 2015, there are two analytic variants (seasonally adjusted (SA) or not (NSA)), and the classification is NACE Rev. 2.
- Assigned standardized mnemonics to the replacements.
The active IPI series reside in the historical catalog (Ireland » Industry » Industrial production index » 2015=100) and the predecessors under the associated "discontinued" node. They include, for example:
- SBJIPMMEG_10AM.IIRL = [DISCONTINUED] Industrial Production Index: Industries [05 to 35], (Vol.Index 2010=100, SA)
- IPJ105UM.IIRL = Dairy products [105], (Vol. Index 2015=100, NSA)
- IPJ27AM.IIRL = Electrical equipment [27], (Vol. Index 2015=100, SA)
And under (Ireland » Industry » Industrial turnover index » 2015=100):
- SBITN10UM.IIRL = [DISCONTINUED] Industrial Turnover Index: Food products [10], (Index 2010=100, NSA)
- TNJMFPAM.IIRL = Paper and paper products; printing and reproduction of recorded media [17; 18], (Index 2015=100, SA)
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
Please be aware that
By definition, industrial production is a volume index, i.e., adjusted to remove the effect of price changes.
