    abstract = {The paper discusses methods and sources of data used in the 
calculation of indices of industrial production in developing 
countries. It shows that many indices are very unreliable and 
explains why this is so. In some countries it is not possible to 
distinguish year-to-year movements in manufacturing production from 
the size of the average error in the index. Such inaccuracies make 
the indices of little value for government decision-making. Several 
suggestions are made to improve the reliability of the indices. 
Unless urgent action is taken by governments, international 
organizations and statistical offices, this highly unsatisfactory 
situation is likely to deteriorate. },
