Data Revision: South Africa - Central government finances SA - Method
Friday, 15 May 2020 16:10 ET
By Kylie Myers
Summary
May 2020 -- For central government headline finances for South Africa we compute seasonally adjusted supplements, and have switched from X-12 to X-13 (three monthly series, revised from 1960).
Detail

Previously, we created our seasonal factors using the X-12 ARIMA seasonal adjustment program, but we are incrementally migrating our datasets to the X-13 ARIMA program.

The revisions apply over the entire history of the series. The series start at 1960m1. Properties are otherwise unchanged.

The series reside in the historical catalog:

and are:

  • GVLCBGBAM.IZAF = Government Finance: Central Government budget surplus, (Ths. ZAR, SA)
  • GVLCREVAM.IZAF = Revenue
  • GVLCEXTAM.IZAF = Expenditure
