Data Change: Lithuania - General government debt - Source
Thursday, 08 Feb 2018 17:31 ET
By Keith Golden
Summary
February 2018 -- For general government debt detail for Lithuania, the reporting agency has changed from the Ministry of Finance to Statistics Lithuania (19 quarterly series 2009-2016, replaced by 22 from 2000).
Detail

The source explains (citation):

 [...] starting from the year 2017 Statistics Lithuania is responsible for the publication of the government debt indicators on the website of Statistics Lithuania.

In response, we have archived the predecessors (19 quarterly series, 2009Q4 to 2016Q3) by renaming with an "_16" specifier, by marking metadata as "discontinued", and by segregating in the catalog. The replacements (22 quarterly series) start at 2000Q1 or 2012Q1. The framework is UN SNA 2008. Figures are millions of euros (Mil. EUR), end of period (EOP), not seasonally adjusted (NSA).

The series reside in the historical catalog (Lithuania » Government » General government debt) and include, for example:

  • GVLGGDT_16UQ.ILTU = [DISCONTINUED] General government debt - Total, (Mil. EUR, NSA)
  • GVLGGVDUQ.ILTU    = General government debt - Total
  • GVLGGVDLNSUQ.ILTU = Loans [AF.4] - Short-term
  • GVLGGVDFCUUQ.ILTU = Total debt - In foreign currency

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:

  • The SNA institutional sector (S.13) and financial asset grouping (e.g., AF.32) are notated in square brackets in the description metadata.
  • Lithuania acceded to the euro zone in 2015, and prior periods in this dataset have been converted to that basis.
  • The structure of the reported data has changed. If you have a legacy retrieval, you will need to revisit the catalog. The generic concept code structure (GVLGG?UQ) is unchanged.
