Publication Rebasing the short-term indices for industry to the year 2015

As of reference month January 2018, the base year of most short-term indices for industry has been moved from 2010 to 2015 as part of the regular rebasing procedure. In addition to the change in the base year of the indices, the index weights were updated and some methodological changes implemented. An index of the stock of orders in manufacturing was introduced and will be published together with the results for reference month January 2018 for the first time.
