Motivation: For Egypt, we obtain producer price measures from a cross-national source -- the International Monetary Fund (International Financial Statistics) -- which are reported as month-over-month percent change, not seasonally adjusted.

Response: For international consistency, we have transformed the data to a fixed-base index, with a common base year, and seasonally adjusted it. We have also created a quarterly counterpart.

Properties:

• Measurement: Fixed-base value index, 2010=100
• Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
• Frequencies: Monthly, quarterly
• Start dates: 1957M01, 1957Q1
• Geo coverage: Nation

The estimates reside in the historical catalog (Egypt » Price » Producer Price Index » Index 2010=100) and are:

• RPPIAM.IEGY = Producer Price Index, (Index 2010=100, SA)
• RPPIAQ.IEGY = Producer Price Index, (Index 2010=100, SA)

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.
