We have communicated with the source:
Due to methodological and operational reasons, the mentioned series (2266,2267,2268,2269,2270,2271,2272,2273,2274,2275,2276) are no longer updated by the Ministry of Finance/National Treasury Secretariat (http://www.tesouro.fazenda.gov.br/), which was responsible for the compilation and publication of the original data. On the other hand, the series for the Central Government non-financial (primary) revenues and expenditures remain being updated, and may be consulted at the Central Bank's website (see "Resultado primário do Governo Central" on https://www3.bcb.gov.br/sgspub/localizarseries/localizarSeries.do?method=prepararTelaLocalizarSeries).
In response, we have discontinued these 11 series (as early as January 1985 to December 2014) by marking their metadata as "discontinued" and by segregating in the catalog. We have located 15 substitutes, which start at January 1997. Figures are millions of "current monetary units" which, since 1995, are Brazilian real (Mil. BRL). Reported series are not seasonally adjusted (NSA).
The series reside in the historical catalog (Brazil » Government » Government operations) and include, for example, the following. To compare the attributes of the two datasets, please see the attachment.
- GVLREVFUM.IBRA = [DISCONTINUED] National Treasury revenues (flows) - Fiscal revenue, (Mil. c.m.u.)
- GVLREVGUM.IBRA = [DISCONTINUED] National Treasury revenues (flows) - Revenues of government credit operations and earnings
- GVLCREVUM.IBRA = Central government - Revenue, (Mil. c.m.u., NSA)
- GVLCREVNTUM.IBRA = Central government - Revenue - National treasury
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.
Please be aware that:
- Although the ultimate source of the series has changed, our proximate source has not (Central Bank of Brazil), and it is the latter that we record in the "source" metadata.
- The BCB database includes parallel presentations in "current monetary units (c.m.u.)" and "R$". The former exhibit currency breaks, whereas the latter are adjusted to a consistent currency basis. The "c.m.u." (English abbreviation) is unrelated to the UMC (Portuguese), an accounting currency used during 1993 to 1994 (see related article).
- Brazil has used six currencies since 1970. The Brazilian real (ISO code BRL) was adopted July 1, 1994.
- For analytic convenience we compute seasonally adjusted (SA) supplements for central government revenue and expenditures (series GVLCREVAM.IBRA and GVLCEXPAM.IBRA). Such series are marked with a secondary source citation of "Moody's Analytics Adjusted." We have updated these in parallel.
