Data Change: Norway - PPI - Rebased to 2015
Friday, 15 Feb 2019 09:10 ET
By Rosemary Herrmann
Summary
February 2019 -- For the detailed producer price index for Norway, concurrent with dissemination of results for January 2019, the source has advanced the base year from 2000 to 2015 (75 monthly series 2000 to 2018, replaced by 88 from 2000). We have synchronized our SA supplements.
Detail

The source wrote (citation):

Starting with the index for January 2019, which will be published on 11 February, the producer price index (PPI) and the price index of first-hand domestic sales (PIF) will be published with reference year 2015 = 100.

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors (2000=100, January 2000 to December 2018) by renaming with an "_00" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created one-for-one replacements (2015=100) starting at January 2000, with standardized mnemonics.
  3. Expanded our extract with special aggregates and the remaining components.
  4. Extended the general index, over the interval January 1977 to December 1999.
  5. Replaced our seasonally adjusted supplements to key series.
  6. Refurbished the catalog.

Reported dataset properties:

  • Classification:
    • SIC 2007 (a.k.a. SN 2007), the local adaptation of NACE Rev. 2
    • Scope: divisions 05 to 36
    • MIG aggregates
    • Special aggregates
  • Measurement: Fixed-base value index relative to 2015 (Index 2015=100)
  • Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
  • Native frequency: Monthly
  • Start date: January 2000

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

  • PPITT_00UM.INOR  = [DISCONTINUED] Producer price index: Domestic and export - All activities, (Index 2000=100, NSA)
  • PPITTUM.INOR     = Domestic and export market -All activities, (Index 2015=100, NSA)
  • PPIMFD_00UM.INOR = [DISCONTINUED] Domestic market - Manufacturing, (Index 2000=100, NSA)
  • PPIDMMFUM.INOR   = Domestic market - Manufacturing, (Index 2015=100, NSA)

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

We have standardized the mnemonics of the replacement series, where necessary. Legacy baskets will now show the discontinued series.
