Industrial Production Index

Industrial Production Index

The Industrial Production Index (IPI) is an economic indicator which measures real production output. It is expressed as a percentage of real output with base year currently at 2002. Production indexes are computed mainly as fisher indexes with the weights based on annual estimates of value added. This index, along with other industrial indexes and construction, accounts for the bulk of the variation in national output over the duration of the business cycle.
