Is an indicator of the economic situation that aims to measure the development of industrial prices in the first stage of the commercialisation of products, which means that:

• they are ex-works sale prices for products, i.e. they do not include freight or commercialisation costs.

• VAT invoiced to the client is also excluded from the price of the products.

• Considers industrial products exclusively produced nationally and sold on the domestic market. Therefore, it excludes the price of those goods dedicated to exportation, whether imported or destined for intermediate consumption, or capital formation.

• Covers industrial fields, as defined in Sections B-D, Divisions 5 to 35, of the National Classification of Economic Activities, NACE-09
