Data Change: Germany - QNA - Re-referenced to 2015
Thursday, 19 Sep 2019 11:15 ET
By Victoria Donu
Summary
September 2019 -- For the quarterly national accounts of Germany (including the expenditure, income and production (GVA) approaches and the branch accounts), concurrent with dissemination of results for 2019Q2, the source has advanced the currency reference year from 2010 to 2015 (123 quarterly series 1991 to 2018, replaced by 109 from 1991).
Detail

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors (currency reference year 2010, 1991Q1 to 2019Q1) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created replacements (ref 2015) which have an unchanged start date.

Dataset properties:

  • Measurements:
    • Billions of euros at current prices (Bil. EUR)
    • At chained year-2015 prices (Bil. Ch. 2015 EUR)
    • At constant year-2015 prices (Bil. 2015 EUR)
    • Chained index relative to 2015 (Ch. Index 2015=100)
    • Percentage (%)
  • Adjustments:
    • Calendar day adjusted and seasonally adjusted (CDASA)
    • Seasonally adjusted (SA)
    • Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
  • Native frequency: Quarterly

The active data reside in the historical catalog (Germany » National Accounts » Branch Accounts | by Expenditure | by Income | by Value Add) and include, for example:

  • NAJPDLEMUQ.IDEU  = Branch account - Productivity - Labour costs per employee, (Ch. Index 2015=100, NSA)
  • NA%ECINVUQ.IDEU  = By expenditure - Share of GDP growth - Changes in inventories and net increase in valuables, (%, NSA)
  • NAJSGVAREAQ.IDEU = By production - Gross value added - Real estate activities, (Ch. Index 2015=100, SA)
  • NALIGNIAQ.IDEU   = By income - Gross national income, (Bil. EUR, SA)

The predecessors reside in the respective "discontinued" folders and include, for example:

  • NALSGVAPH_10CQ.IDEU = [DISCONTINUED] GVA - Public services; education and health (Bil. EUR, CDASA)
  • NALINNI_10UQ.IDEU   = [DISCONTINUED] By Incoe - National Income, (Bil. EUR, NSA)

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

We have standardized a few mnemonics of the replacement series to correct the adjustment. The older mnemonics have been aliased to the new concepts.
