Data Change: Slovakia - PPI - Rebased to 2015
Friday, 06 Jul 2018 17:06 ET
By Daniel Luckenbach
Summary
March 2018 -- For the detailed "industrial producer price index (IPPI)", concurrent with dissemination of values for January, the source has advanced the base period from 2010 to 2015 (27 monthly series 2013 to 2017, replaced from 2017).
Detail

On 28 February the source wrote (citation):

Price Indices of Industrial Producers in the SR num. 1/2018
Methodological notes
...
the reference period was moved to December 2015 (before it was December 2010)

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors (2010=100 or Dec2010=100, January 2013 to December 2017) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, by marking metadata as "discontinued", and by segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created one-for-one replacements (2015=100).
  3. Extended the headline index from January 2017 to January 1993.
  4. Synchronized our seasonally adjusted supplement.
  5. Assigned standardized mnemonics to predecessors and replacements.

Dataset properties:

  • Activity classification: SK NACE, the adaptation of NACE Rev. 2, with scope of divisions 05 to 39
  • Measure: Fixed-base index relative to December 2015 (Index Dec2015=100) or relative to average of 2015 (Index 2015=100), or moving-base index relative to corresponding month in 2015 (Index CP 2015=100)
  • Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
  • Native frequency: Monthly
  • Start date: January 2017
  • Subject to revisions: No
  • Lag: One month

The active series reside in the historical catalog (Slovak Republic » Price » Producer price index » 2015=100) and the predecessors under the associated discontinued node. They include, for example:

  • PPIMF_10UM.ISVK = [DISCONTINUED] Producer price index - Manufacturing, (Index Dec2010=100, NSA)
  • PPIMMDMAM.ISVK  = Producer price index: Domestic industrial producers, (Index Dec2015=100, SA)
  • PPICNUM.ISVK    = Construction work prices, (Index 2015=100, NSA)
  • PPIAFUM.ISVK    = Agricultural products, (Index CP 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

This release includes a producer price index for industry (divisions 05 to 39), but also separate indexes for agriculture (01 to 03) and construction (41 to 43).
