1) Data for the period from the first quarter of 2019 to the first quarter of 2024 were revised for the purpose of harmonisation with the demographic statistics and the 2021 Census. This caused a break in data time series and therefore the data from the first quarter of 2019 onwards are not comparable to the data for previous quarters.
Indicator information
Industrial production is a process that results in finished industrial products (industrial services) defined by the Nomenclature of Industrial Products (NIPUM 2023).
Industrial production volume is expressed by an index and is an important short-term indicator of a business cycle, which is used to monitor changes in the production in the industrial sector. It is harmonised with international regulations and is calculated using the Laspeyres formula.
The indices are first calculated from data on the produced quantities of individual products according to the NIPUM 2023, multiplying them with adequate weighting coefficients. After that, all indices of groups and higher levels are weighted with shares in the value added of individual industrial activities across the levels of National Classification of Activities, 2007 (NKD 2007.). In this way, the relative importance of individual levels of NKD 2007 is defined and, at the same time, different levels of coverage are levelled.
Data are seasonally and working-day adjusted.

Indicator information
Rates of change show the dynamics of changes in statistical phenomena in the observed period compared to the same period of the previous year and are expressed in percentages.
Rates of change in tourist arrivals are percentage changes in tourist arrivals in the observed month compared to the same month of the previous year. They are calculated as the difference between the index and the value of 100. If this difference is positive, it is a growth rate, and if it is negative, it is a decrease rate.
For example, the index of tourist arrivals in June 2023 compared to June 2022 amounted to 102.8%, which is a growth rate of tourist arrivals of 2.8%. The index of tourist arrivals in May 2019 compared to May 2018 amounted to 95.5%, which is a decrease rate of tourist arrivals of 4.5%.
