Data Change: Ukraine subnational - Res completions - Redefined
Thursday, 15 Nov 2018 02:24 ET
By Rushil Walia
Summary
October 2018 –- For construction completions of dwellings, the source has reduced the scope from "new construction and conversions" to just "new construction" (28 quarterly series 2003 to 2017, replaced by 28 from 2017).
Detail

In a direct communication, the source described a change in methodology:

  • Before: New residential buildings and reconstruction as dwellings are counted. The description was “Housing and Construction: Completions – Total Space”.
  • After: Only new residential buildings are counted. The description is “Real estate: Total area of buildings put into service [completions] - New - Residential”.

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors (2003Q4 to 2017Q3) by marking metadata as "discontinued" and segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created one-for-one replacements, from 2017Q1.
  3. For the country geo only, extended prior to 2017Q1 and infilled for 2017Q3.
  4. Replaced our supplements (non-YTD and seasonally adjusted).
  5. Assigned standardized mnemonics.
  6. Refurbished description metadata of the predecessors.
  7. Refurbished the catalog.

Dataset properties:

  • Measurement: Thousands of square meters (Ths. m²)
  • Adjustment:
    • For reported: Year-to-date (YTD) not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
    • For Moody's Analytics supplements: Seasonally adjusted (SA) or not (NSA)
  • Geo coverage:
    • For reported: Country, 25 of 27 first-level units
    • For Moody's Analytics supplements: Country only
  • Native frequency: Quarterly
  • Start date: As early as 2003Q4

We have clarified the description metadata of the predecessors:

  • Before: Housing and Construction: Completions - Total Space
  • After: Real estate: Total area of buildings put into service [completions] - New and conversion - Residential

The series reside in the historical catalog (Ukraine » Real Estate » Residential » Stage of construction » Completions) and include, for example:

  • HSSMFLRUQ.IUKR        = [DISCONTINUED] Real estate: Total area of buildings put into service [completions] - New and conversion - Residential, (Ths. m² YTD, NSA)
  • HSSMFLRUQ.IUKR_KIEV   = [DISCONTINUED] Real estate: Total area of buildings put into service [completions] - New and conversion - Residential, (Ths. m² YTD, NSA) - for Kyiv
  • HSACMPNRYUQ.IUKR      = Real estate: Total area of buildings put into service [completions] - New - Residential, (m² YTD, NSA)
  • HSACMPNRYUQ.IUKR_KIEV = Real estate: Total area of buildings put into service [completions] - New - Residential, (m² YTD, NSA) - for Kyiv

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.
