Data Change: Slovakia - IPI - Rebased to 2015
Monday, 16 Apr 2018 17:52 ET
By Daniel Luckenbach
Summary
March 2018 -- For the detailed industrial production index for Slovakia, the source has advanced the base year from 2010 to 2015 (36 monthly series 2008 to 207, replaced by 36 from 2008). We have synchronized our SA supplements.
Detail

In response, we have archived the predecessors (2010=100, January 2008 to December 2017) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, by marking the metadata as "discontinued", and by segregating in the catalog. The one-for-one replacements (2015=100) have an unchanged start date. Figures are fixed-base value indexes. There are two presentations: not seasonally adjusted (NSA) and working day adjusted (WDA) terms. The classification is SK NACE, the adaptation of NACE Rev. 2, with scope of B to E (mining, manufacturing, electrical utilities etc.).

The series reside in the historical catalog (Slovakia » Industry » Industrial production index) and include, for example: 

  • IPI20_10UM.ISVK = [DISCONTINUED] Industrial Production Index: Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, (2010=100, NSA)
  • IPI20UM.ISVK    = Manufacture of chemicals and chemical products, (2015=100, NSA)
  • IPIMFAWM.ISVK   = Manufacture of food products; beverages; tobacco products [10 to 12], (Index 2015=100, WDA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.

Please be aware that

This source defines "industry" as the activity aggregate B to E. Some countries in Europe include "construction [F]".

Moody's Analytics creates two seasonally adjusted counterparts for the total production and manufacturing indices. These supplements have been recreated using the newest base year. The series start as early as January 2008. For example:

  • IPIMF_10AM.ISVK = [DISCONTINUED] Manufacturing, (Index 2010=100, SA)
  • IPITTAM.ISVK    = All industries [05 to 39], (Index 2015=100, SA)
