Sources and methods of data collection
The reporting method is used for collecting data on turnover in industry through the Monthly Report on Turnover in Industry - IND.2. The reporting unit is obliged to submit the data through the form IND.2 based on the accounting records to the regional statistical office within a specified time frame, in accordance with the Programme for Statistical Surveys in the Republic of Macedonia for the particular year.
Observation units
Reporting units are the enterprises which in the Register of Business Entities are registered in industry in sections B - Mining and quarrying and C - Manufacturing of the National Classification of Activities - NKD Rev.2, as well as enterprises registered in another activity (construction, trade, agriculture, etc.), which besides their main activity are also engaged in industrial activity. Reporting units are also local units by kind of activity at the municipal level.
Calculation method
The turnover indices in industry for different levels of the National Classification of Activities (total, main industrial groupings, sections, division and groups of products) are calculated through direct comparison of the aggregated values of the turnover in industry, where the values of the domestic and non-domestic turnover are corrected with the industrial producer price indices on the domestic and non-domestic market, at the lowest level of aggregation (at groups of products, i.e. at three digit level of NKD Rev.2). The turnover indices in industry and the industrial producer price indices are calculated with 2010 as base year.
Classifications
Classifications used for the Monthly Report on Turnover in Industry and for publishing of the results are: the National Classification of Activities (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No. 147/2008) and the National Nomenclature of Industrial Products 2008 (Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No.75/2009).
Recommendations
The Monthly Report on Turnover in Industry is based on the EUROSTAT recommendations in the Methodology of Short-Term Business Statistics, 2006, and is harmonized with Council Regulation (EC) No.1165/98 concerning shortterm statistics.
