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