Data Change: Germany - Trade price index - Rebased to 2015
Thursday, 15 Nov 2018 13:06 ET
By Ian Vaughan
Summary
November 2018 -- For the import and export price indexes for Germany, concurrent with dissemination of results for August, the source has advance the base period from 2010 to 2015 (five monthly series 1962 to 2018, replaced from 1962).
Detail

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors (2010=100, January 1962 to July 2018) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, marking the metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created one-for-one replacements (2015=100, from January 1962).
  3. Assigned standard mnemonics to the replacements.
  4. Refurbished the catalog.

Dataset properties:

  • Measurement: Fixed-base index relative to 2015 (Index 2015=100)
  • Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA), or calendar day and seasonally adjusted (CDASA)
  • Frequency: Monthly
  • Start: As early as January 1962
  • Subject to revisions: Yes
  • Lag: Two months

The series reside in the historical catalog (Germany » Trade » Foreign Trade » Price index and unit value index) and include, for example:

  • TRIVAEX_10CM.IDEU = [DISCONTINUED] Foreign Trade: Export price index, (Index 2010=100, CDASA)
  • TRIEXCM.IDEU      = Foreign trade: Export price index, (Index 2015=100, CDASA)
  • TRIIMUM.IDEU      = Foreign trade: Import price index, (Index 2015=100, NSA)
  • TRITTCM.IDEU      = Foreign trade: Terms of trade, (Index 2015=100, CDASA)

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.
