The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is a statistical instrument used to monitor the monthly trends in output of industrial activities in Rwanda. It is developed based on a range of short term (monthly) indicators of economic activity. The IIP series were developed since 2017, and the first publication was done in June 2019. In this publication a series from March 2011 have been compiled and availed to the public.
The IIP is produced based on monthly indicators of the volume of economic activity for eleven Rwanda Classification of Products by Activity (RCPA). These are weighted together based on the gross value added in the reference year for the series (currently, 2017), consistent with the estimates of published value added within the Gross Domestic Product series.
