The Turnover Indices (ICA) in Industry allow the monthly measurement of developments in the value of sales in the sectors concerned, including on the export market.

Turnover indices are calculated thanks to administrative data, the CA3 declaration, a form which enterprises must fill in monthly or quarterly for the payment of VAT.
