On 15 May, the source wrote (citation, pdf):
El trabajo de cambio de año base 2015 se desarrolló durante los últimos cinco años, siguiendo una agenda acordada con la OCDE, y con asistencia técnica del Fondo Monetario Internacional durante todo el proceso.
Hoy 15 de mayo, 45 días después de finalizado el trimestre, es la fecha prevista en la agenda, para la publicación de los resultados del PIB del primer trimestre 2018, calculados a partir del nuevo año base 2015.
A partir de esta primera publicación, se presenta la serie trimestral con año base 2015, desde el año 2005 hasta el primer trimestre de 2018.
That is:
The change of base year 2015 was developed during the last five years, following an agenda agreed with the OECD, and with technical assistance from the Monetary Fund International throughout the process.
Today, May 15, 45 days after the end of the quarter, is the date foreseen in the agenda, for the publication of the GDP results for the first quarter 2018, calculated at from the new base year 2015.
From this first publication, the quarterly series with base year 2015 is presented, from the year 2005 until the first quarter of 2018.
In addition, we have observed that the source has changed its inflation adjustment method from constant prices to chained prices.
In response, we have:
- Archived the predecessors (reference year 2000, 2001Q1 to 2017Q4) by renaming with an "_00" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and by segregating in the catalog.
- Created one-for-one replacements (reference year 2015, as early as 2005Q2).
- Assigned standard mnemonics to the replacements.
Dataset properties:
- Measurement:
- Chain-linked volume, year-over-year percent change (Ch. Vol. % Y/Y)
- Chain-linked volume, quarter-over-quarter percent change (Ch. Vol. % Q/Q)
- Adjustments:
- Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
- Calendar day and seasonally adjusted (CDASA)
- Native frequency: Quarterly
- Start date: as early as 2005Q2 or 2006Q1
- Subject to revisions? Yes
The series reside in the historical catalog (Colombia » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Quarterly » Growth of GDP) and are:
- NACY%GDP_00AQ.ICOL = [DISCONTINUED] National accounts: Production approach - GDP, (Vol. % Y/Y, SA)
- NACQ%GDP_00AQ.ICOL = [DISCONTINUED] GDP, (Vol. % Q/Q, SA)
- NA%SGDPYUQ.ICOL = GDP [B.1b], (Ch. Vol. % Y/Y, NSA)
- NA%SGDPQCQ.ICOL = GDP [B.1b], (Ch. Vol. % Q/Q, CDASA)
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.
