Data Change: Greece - Regional accounts - Geos
Tuesday, 24 Oct 2017 17:07 ET
By Keith Golden
Summary
October 2017 -- For the annual regional accounts for Greece, the source has changed the reporting geos: Two of 69 have changed, and seven have been added (87 annual series 2000-2012, replaced by 165 from 2000).
Detail

Greece has enacted changes to its administrative divisions (strictly speaking, NUTS areas apply only to Eurostat, specifically because Member States can make local changes between the triennial NUTS editions) and its local reporting is now, in effect, a hybrid between the NUTS 2010 and 2013 lists. For the regional accounts, the applicable geo changes are:

  1. Redefined these NUTS 1 areas:
    • IGRC_VOEL = [DISCONTINUED] Voreia Ellada (Northern Greece)
    • IGRC_NORT = Voreia Ellada
    • IGRC_KEEL = [DISCONTINUED] Kentriki Ellada (Central Greece)
    • IGRC_CENT = Kentriki Ellada
  2. Fissioned the NUTS 3 area "Attiki" into seven new geos:
    • IGRC_ATT = [DISCONTINUED] Attiki
    • IGRC_NAT = North Athens
    • IGRC_WET = West Athens
    • IGRC_CAT = Central Athens
    • IGRC_SAT = South Athens
    • IGRC_EAT = East Attiki
    • IGRC_WAT = West Attiki
    • IGRC_PIR = Piraeus, Islands

In response, we have archived the predecessors (2000 to 2012) by marking metadata as "discontinued". The replacements have an unchanged start date. Figures are millions of euros (Mil. EUR) or unitary counts of persons (#).

  • Before:
    • Geo standard: NUTS 2010
    • Geo coverage: 69 areas = nation, all NUTS 1, 2 and 3 areas except "extra-regions" (four, 13, 51)
    • Series count: 1,329
    • Date range: 2000-2012
  • After:
    • Geo standard: NUTS 2010 and NUTS 2013 hybrid
    • Geo coverage: 75 areas = nation, four NUTS 1, 13 NUTS 2, 57 NUTS 3
    • Series count: 1,407
    • Start date: 2000

Employment series reside in the historical catalog (Greece » National Accounts » Branch accounts » Employment » Annual » Employed » A*10) and include, for example:

  • NAQEMRER1UA.IGRC_CENT = Employment - Real estate, (#) - for Kentriki Ellada

Household accounts data reside in the historical catalog (Greece » National Accounts » by Institutional Sector » Household):

  • NALNAHHUYPPUA.IGRC_NORT = Allocation of primary income account - Uses - Property income, (Mil. EUR) - for Voreia Ellada

The GDP and GVA series reside in the historical catalog (Greece » National Accounts » by Value Add » Annual » Current Prices):

  • NALSGDPR1UA.IGRC_NAT   = GDP - Production approach, (Mil. EUR) - for North Athens
  • NALSGVACNR1UA.IGRC_PIR = GVA - Construction, (Mil. EUR) - for Piraeus Islands

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.
