In response, we have archived the predecessors (January 2002 to December 2016) by renaming with an "_16" specifier, by marking metadata as "discontinued," and by segregating in the catalog. The replacements (OKVED 2) start at January 2017 and have standardized mnemonics. Reported figures are not seasonally adjusted (NSA). OKVED 2 is the localization of NACE Rev. 2.

The active and discontinued series reside in the historical catalog (Russia » Price » Producer price index) and include, for example:

• PPIEGWM_16UM.IRUS = [DISCONTINUED] Producer Price Index:  Electricity, gas and water, (Previous Month=100, NSA)
• PPITTMUM.IRUS     = Producer price index: Total, (Index prv. mo.=100, NSA)
• PPIWWYUM.IRUS     = Producer price index: Water supply; sanitation organization of the collection and disposal of waste; efforts to eliminate pollution, (Index CPPY=100, NSA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that excepts mnemonic.

About the dataset:

• The source publishes five analytic alternatives: one fixed-base index and four moving-base indexes. Detailed branches are reported under two of the alternatives.
• With this reclassification, the branch "electricity, gas and water" has been fissioned into "electrical energy; gas and steam; air conditioning" and "water supply; sanitation; organization of the collection and disposal of waste; efforts to eliminate pollution."

About our extract:

• Because we have standardized the mnemonics of the replacements, if you have a legacy basket or other retrievals, existing references will now return "series not found" errors. You will need to edit the basket to use the amended mnemonic.
• We have extended the history of the fixed-base index.
• We have produced a seasonally adjusted counterpart to the fixed-base index.
