French term

EBIQ

French to English Tech/Engineering Finance (general)
EBIQ = Ensemble Energie, Bien Intermédiaires, Biens d’Equipements

This is an index calculated by INSEE which tracks the cost of energy, intermediate goods and capital (?) goods.

Does anyone know what the equivalent in English might be?

I've managed to find individual indices that track intermediate goods and capital goods, but I wonder if there is one for all three?

Any help will be gratefully received as always. Thank you!

INTRODUCTION INTO METHODOLOGY for Basic Indicators of Short-term Statistics on Industry
Czech Statistical Office
The monthly IPI is related to a single basis, average month of the base
year 2000 (average month of 2000 = 100), from which monthly and
cumulative year-on-year industrial production indices (IPIs) are derived.
The calculated IPIs are aggregated by sections, subsections and divisions
and by 5 Main Industrial Groupings (MIG) – energy, intermediate goods,
capital goods, consumer durables and consumer non-durables.

a newly implemented disaggregation by five Main Industrial Groupings
(MIG). MIG are represented by the classification of industrial production
by the main use of this production, i.e. by industrial production
predominantly intended for Intermediate Goods (MIGIG), for Capital
Goods (MIGCG), for Consumer Durables (MIGCD), for Consumer Non
-Durables (MIGCND) and Energy (MIGE). The Main Industrial
Groupings are defined using 3-digit groups of CZ-CPA or CZ-NACE and
comply with Eurostat methodology of 2000.
