The official production indices cover four different statistics, each monitoring a separate branch of the economy. Statbel currently publishes separate production indices for:
- Industry (NACE sections B-D);
- Construction (NACE section F);
- Trade (NACE section G);
- Services (NACE sections H, I, J, L, M and N).
The total production index in market-oriented sectors represents the weighted average of the four sub-indices above. Value added acts as a weight here.
The total production index in market-oriented sectors is calculated monthly and will be available 65 days after the end of the reference month. Those interested in only one individual sector should visit the relevant web page. Indeed, the publication of each individual sub-index takes place before the calculation of total production.
