Data Revision: Hong Kong SAR (China) - Real GDP(E) - Re-referenced to 2018
Tuesday, 26 May 2020 21:53 ET
By Annie Kao
Summary
May 2020 -- For the quarterly constant-price national accounts (expenditure approach to GDP) for Hong Kong, the source has advanced the currency reference year from 2017 to 2018 (36 quarterly series 1973 to 2019, replaced from 1973). This is a routine annual process.
Detail

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors (2017 prices) by renaming with an "_17" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
  2. Created one-for-one replacements (2018 prices).
  3. Replaced the current-price series in the same way, because they may be subject to other revisions.
  4. Recomputed our identities and SA supplements.
  5. Refurbished the catalog layout.

Notable properties that changed (for full list, see background):

  • Currency reference year: From 2017 to 2018
  • Start date: Unchanged

The series reside in the historical catalog:

  • Hong Kong » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Quarterly
  • Hong Kong » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Discontinued » Ref 2017 » Quarterly
