Data Change: Hong Kong - PPI - Rebased to 2015
Wednesday, 30 Oct 2019 23:13 ET
By Jacky Cheung, Jason Flynn
Summary
October 2019 -- For the producer price index for Hong Kong, concurrent with dissemination of results for 2019Q2, the source has advanced the base year from 2008 to 2015 (seven monthly series 1990 to 2019, replaced by eight from 1990).
Detail

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessor indexes (2008=100, 1990Q1 to 2019Q1) by renaming with an "_08" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created as-reported replacements (2015=100), which have standardized mnemonics.
  3. Transplanted the global concept alias PPI.IHKG.

Active subset properties:

  • Classification: Aggregates over HSIC V2.0
  • Measurement: Fixed-base index relative to 2015 (Index 2015=100)
  • Adjustments: 
    • Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
    • Seasonally adjusted (SA)
  • Native frequency: Quarterly
  • Start dates:
    • Reported from 1990Q1

The series reside in the historical catalog (Hong Kong » Prices » Producer Price Index » Base 2015).

  • PPIMFUQ.IHKG = Producer Price Index: Manufacturing, (Index 2015=100, NSA)
  • PPIMFAQ.IHKG = Manufacturing, (Index 2015=100, SA)
  • PPIMF_08UQ.IHKG = [DISCONTINUED] Producer Price Index: Manufacturing, (Index 2008=100, NSA)
  • PPIMF_08AQ.IHKG = [DISCONTINUED] Manufacturing, (Index 2008=100, SA)
