Data Change: Germany - Construction price index - Rebased to 2015
Tuesday, 23 Oct 2018 16:49 ET
By Ian Vaughan
Summary
October 2018 -- For the residential and non-residential construction price indexes for Germany, concurrent with dissemination of results for 2018Q3, the source has advanced the base period from 2010 to 2015 (three quarterly series 2000 to 2018, replaced by three from 2000).
Detail

In response, we have: 

  1. Archived the three predecessors (2010=100, 2000Q1 to 2018Q2) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, by marking metadata as discontinued, and by segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created three one-to-one replacements (2015=100) with an unchanged start date.
  3. Refurbished the catalog.

Dataset properties:

  • Measurement: Fixed-base index relative to 2015 (Index 2015=100)
  • Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
  • Native frequency: Quarterly
  • Start date: 2000Q1 (unchanged)
  • Lag: 1 month
  • Subject to revisions: Yes

The series reside in the historical catalog (Germany » Real estate » Construction » Construction price index) and include, for example:

  • HSICCR_10UQ.IDEU  = [DISCONTINUED] Construction Price Index: Residential - Total, (Index 2010=100, NSA)
  • HSICCTNRESUQ.IDEU = New - Residential buildings, (Index 2015=100, NSA)
  • HSICCTNCOMUQ.IDEU = New - Non-residential - Commercial buildings, (Index 2015=100, 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.
