Industrial production index

The index measures the monthly evolution of the volume of industrial production (excluding construction). Since January 2009 the indices are calculated with reference to the base year 2005 using the new Ateco 2007 classification (Italian edition of Nace Rev. 2).
In January 2010 the industrial production index seasonally adjusted increased by 2.6% compared with the previous month. The average of the last three months with respect to the previous three months was unchanged.
The calendar adjusted industrial production index increased by 0.1% compared with January 2009 (1 calendar working day less in January 2010 than in January 2009).
The unadjusted index of industrial production declined by 3.3% compared with January 2009.
