Estimates Revision: Malaysia - GDP by industry - Re-referenced to 2015
Thursday, 11 Jul 2019 07:35 ET
By Kelli Johnson
Summary
June 2019 -- We have revised our estimates of output (real gross domestic product by industry) for Malaysia, by advancing the currency reference year from 2010 to 2015 (56 quarterly series affected from 1991).
Detail

Motivation: Our national source, the Department of Statistics Malaysia, has advanced the currency reference year used in national accounts from 2010 to 2015.

Response: For consistency, Moody's Analytics has modified estimates in the same way.

Properties

  • Valuation: "Taxes less subsidies" is allocated to each industry rather than a distinct item, hence we consider these GDP, not GVA.
  • Industry classification: MSIC 2008, an adaptation of UN ISIC Rev. 4
  • Measurement: Millions of Malaysian ringgit at current prices (Mil. MYR) or chained year-2015 prices (Mil. Ch. 2015 MYR)
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted at an annualized rate (SAAR)
  • Geo coverage: Country
  • Native frequency: Quarterly
  • Start date: 1991Q1
  • Additivity: Across industries

The series reside in the historical catalog (Malaysia » National Accounts » by Value Added » Moody's Analytics Estimated » Chained price | Current price) and include, for example:

  • RGDP$Q.IMYS  = Gross domestic product - Total, (Mil. Ch. 2015 MYR, SAAR)
  • RGDPWWQ.IMYS = Gross domestic product - Water supply; sewerage; waste management and remediation, (Mil. MYR, SAAR)

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.

Method: Apat from the change in currency reference year, unchanged.
