Notes on Main Statistical Indicators
Industrial Production Indices are classified according to
tabulation categories, division and combination of division of the revised
version of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic
Activities (ISIC) for mining, manufacturing and electricity, gas and water,
excluding construction. The indices indicate trends in value added in constant
US dollars. Each series is compiled by use of the Laspeyres.
The weight base year is 2000.
Establishment is ideally a unit that engages, under a single
ownership or control, in one, or predominantly one, kind of activity at a
single location.
Number of Employees is defined as the total
number of persons who worked in or for the establishment during the reference
year. However, home workers are excluded.
Wages and Salaries include all payments in
cash or in kind made to employees during the reference year in relation to work
done for the establishment. Payments including: direct wages and salaries;
bonuses and gratuities; housing allowances and family allowances paid directly
by the employer; and payments in kind.
Output The measure of
output normally used in the tables is the census concept that covers only
activities of an industrial nature.
Value Added The measure of value
added normally used in the tables is the census concept, which is defined as
the value of census output less the value of census input.
Gross Fixed Capital Formation
Estimates refer to the value of purchases and own account
construction of fixed assets during the reference year less the value of corresponding
sales.
Primary Energy Production Including in the production of commercial
primary energy for solids are hard coal, lignite, peat and oil shale; liquids
are comprised of crude petroleum and natural gas liquids; gas comprises natural
gas and natural gas liquids; electricity is comprised of primary electricity
generation from hydro, nuclear, geothermal, wind, tide wave and solar sources.
Changes in Stocks, Imports and Exports refer to all
primary and secondary forms of commercial energy.
Bunkers Airs bunkers refer to
bunkers of aviation gasoline and jet fuel. Sea bunkers refer to bunkers of hard
coal, gas-diesel oil and residual fuel oil.
Energy Consumption Including in the consumption
of commercial energy for solids are consumption of primary forms of solid
fuels, net imports and changes in stocks of secondary fuels; liquids are
comprised of consumption of energy petroleum products including feed stocks,
natural gasolene, condensate, refinery gas and input
of crude petroleum to thermal power plants; gases including the consumption of
natural gas, net imports and changes in stocks of gasworks and coke-oven gas;
and Electricity is comprised of production of primary electricity and net
imports of electricity.
Consumption=Production+Imports-Exports
-Bunkers-Changes in stocks
Balance An unallocated has
been created in order to balance out the difference between the results of the
above formula for consumption and the total consumption. This inequality occurs
primarily because of the exclusion of non-energy petroleum products as well as
inadequate or unavailable stock data.
