Motivation: Kenya National Bureau of Statistics reports quarterly GDP totals, seasonally adjusted, at current and 2009-constant prices. Previously, our estimates did not align with these series.
Old Methodology:
- Benchmark current and constant GDP and its expenditure components to annual GDP(E) from the UNSD
- Backfill using growth rates of annual GDP(E) from the World Bank
- Frequency-convert (2009 to current) GDP from annual to quarterly using quarterly GDP from the World Bank
- Frequency-convert (1960 to 2008) GDP from annual to quarterly using linear interpolation
- Frequency-convert (1960 to current) expenditure components from annual to quarterly using linear interpolation
- Squeeze components to total GDP to ensure additive integrity
New Methodology:
- Benchmark current and constant price GDP to quarterly, seasonally adjusted GDP from Kenya National Bureau of Statistics
- Backfill (2000 to 2008) constant price GDP using growth rates of the 2001-constant price predecessor
- Backfill (1960 to 1999) current and constant price GDP using annual GDP from UNSD, backfilled with annual GDP from the World Bank, frequency-converted to quarterly using linear interpolation.
- Benchmark current and constant price expenditure components to annual components from UNSD
- Re-base constant price components from 2010 to 2009 using corresponding current price data
- Backfill using annual components from the World Bank
- Frequency-convert expenditure components from annual to quarterly using GDP estimates
- Squeeze components to total GDP to ensure additive integrity
What you will see: All periods are revised. Constant price estimates re-based (from 2010 to 2009). Properties are otherwise unchanged.
The estimates reside in the historical catalog (Kenya » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and include, for example:
- RNALEGDPAQ.IKEN = National Accounts: Gross domestic product, (Mil. KES, SAAR)
- RNACEEXAQ.IKEN = Exports, (Mil. 2009 KES, SAAR)
- RPDIGAQ.IKEN = Implicit price deflator - Government consumption, (Index 2009=100, SA)
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.
