Motivation: In the most recent update (mid-March) of the United Nations Statistics Division National Accounts Main Aggregates Database, GDP at constant year-2005 prices was replaced by year-2010 prices.
Response: In our estimates of GDP for Kenya, Moody's Analytics has followed suit, by advancing the currency reference year used in deflators and constant-price levels.
Properties: Series properties are otherwise unchanged (see related article). The series reside in the historical catalog (Kenya » National accounts » By expenditure » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and include, for example:
- Before:
- RPDIEXAQ.IKEN = National Accounts: Implicit price deflator - Exports, (Index 2005=100, SA)
- RNACEGDPAQ.IKEN = National Accounts: Gross domestic product, (Mil. 2005 KES, SAAR)
- After:
- RPDIEXAQ.IKEN = National Accounts: Implicit price deflator - Exports, (Index 2010=100, SA)
- RNACEGDPAQ.IKEN = National Accounts: Gross domestic product, (Mil. 2010 KES, SAAR)
