Indices of Production and Construction

The Index of Production and the Index of Construction show the short term movements in the output of industries in the production and construction sectors within Wales and the UK. The Index of Production for Wales and the Index of Construction for Wales account for approximately 20 per cent and 8 per cent of the Welsh economy respectively. The Index of Production and the Index of Construction are two separate indices. The Index of Production covers sections B to E of the 2007 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC2007), Section B - Mining and Quarrying, Section C - Manufacturing and Section DE – Electricity, Gas and Water Supply; and the Index of Construction covers Section F.
