Summary
March 2019 -- Moody's Analytics now computes seasonally adjusted counterparts for real gross value added by industry for Hong Kong (20 new quarterly series from 2000).
Detail

Motivation: The Census and Statistics Department Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSARG) reports gross value added by industry, but only in not seasonally adjusted (NSA) terms. 

Response: For analytical convenience and international consistency, we have created counterparts that are seasonally adjusted at an annualized rate (SAAR). 

Properties: Supplemental series of this kind are identified by a secondary source citation of "Moody's Analytics Adjusted". Expect our SA series to be revised with each update. 

  • Measurement: Millions of chained year-2016 Hong Kong dollars (Mil. Ch. 2016 HKD)
  • Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted at an annualized rate (SAAR)
  • Geo coverage: IHKG only
  • Frequency: Quarterly
  • Start date: 2000Q1
  • Industry classification: HSIC 2008
  • Industry coverage: 19 industries (excludes industries T and U)

The series reside in the historical catalog (Hong Kong » National Accounts » by Value Add » Quarterly » Constant prices » Seasonally adjusted by Moody's Analytics) and include, for example: 

  • NACSGVATAQ.IHKG  = National Accounts: Production approach - Gross value added [GDP at basic prices] - All industries total, (Mil. Ch. 2016 HKD, SAAR)
  • NACSGVACNAQ.IHKG = Construction, (Mil. Ch. 2016 HKD, SAAR)
  • NACSGVASVAQ.IHKG = Services, (Mil. Ch. 2016 HKD, SAAR)

Method

  1. Adjust each industry, using the U.S. Census Bureau's X-13 ARIMA program
  2. Compute five aggregates as sums: total GVA (all industries); import/export, wholesale and retail trades; real estate, professional and business services; transportation, storage, postal and courier services; and services.
