ISTAT Istituto Nazionale di Statistica : Industrial turnover and orders

The industrial turnover index measures the monthly evolution of sales by industrial enterprises at current prices. The new orders index is an indicator of the value of future deliveries of products (and services directly linked to these products) to be provided by industrial producers. Since January 2013 the indices are calculated with reference to the base year 2010 using the Ateco 2007 classification (Italian edition of Nace Rev. 2).

In November 2015 the seasonally adjusted turnover index decreased by 1.1% compared to the previous month (-1.1% in domestic and in non-domestic market). The percentage change of the average of the last three months compared to the previous three months was -0.7% (-0.8% in domestic market and -0.4% in non-domestic market).

In November 2015 the seasonally adjusted industrial new orders index increased by 1.6% compared with October 2015 (+4.4% in domestic market and -2.5% in non-domestic market). The percentage change of the average of the last three months compared to the previous three months was -1.8% (-0.7% in domestic market and -3.3% in non-domestic market).

With respect to the same month of the previous year the calendar adjusted industrial turnover index increased by 0.8% (calendar working days being 21 versus 20 days in November 2014).

In November 2015 the unadjusted industrial new orders index increased by 12.1% with respect to the same month of the previous year.
