In response, we have:
- Archived the four predecessors by marking metadata as "discontinued" and by segregating in the catalog.
- Created one-for-one replacements.
- Added three additional tenors.
- Added the seven corresponding prices.
Dataset properties:
- Tenors: 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30 years
- Measurements:
- Percent per annum (% p.a.)
- Clean price in euros per 100 euros face value (EUR per 100 EUR)
- Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
- Native frequency: Monthly
- Compaction: Monthly average
- Start date(s): March 1999, March 2005, January 2013
The series reside in the historical catalog (Greece » Financial » Sovereign yields) and include, for example:
- IR%GB10YUM.IGRC = [DISCONTINUED] Interest rates: Government bonds - 10 years - Secondary market, (% p.a., NSA)
- IR%GB10YSUM.IGRC = Interest rates: Government bonds - 10 years - Secondary market, (% p.a., NSA)
- IRLGB20YSUM.IGRC = Government bond prices: 20 years, (EUR per 100 EUR, 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
These data are published by the source (Bank of Greece) in two tables, and we have switched our process to the one that is more timely. However, the reported histories are not identical, so rather than revise our existing series, we have replaced them.
There are minor value differences but, more importantly, the replacement data have a gap over the interval March 2012 to December 2012. We are investigating the discrepancy and whether we can splice the pairs of series.
Our previous extract contained only four tenors, so there are four pairs of series you may want to compare:
Tenor (years) | Predecessor | Replacement |
10 |
IR%GB10YUM.IGRC |
IR%GB10YSUM.IGRC |
15 |
IR%GB15YUM.IGRC |
IR%GB15YSUM.IGRC |
20 |
IR%GB20YUM.IGRC |
IR%GB20YSUM.IGRC |
30 |
IR%GB30YUM.IGRC |
IR%GB30YSUM.IGRC |
