The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) measures short-term changes in the volume of industrial output in Rwanda's formal sector. Compiled monthly by the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR), the index covers four main divisions: mining and quarrying, manufacturing (nine sub-sectors including food, beverages, textiles, chemicals, non-metallic minerals, and metal products), electricity, and water & waste management. Construction is excluded due to data limitations. The base year is 2024=100 (rebased from 2017 starting with the 2026 publications). The series begins in January 2011. Each monthly release publishes a cumulative file covering the full history from the start of the series to the reference month, so only the latest file is needed for the complete time series.
