The source has recently changed the corpus of PPI series and the labeling thereof. In response, we have:

1. Archived three terminated components (2000 to 2015) by marking the metadata and catalog entries as discontinued.
2. Created one active series (food products) which starts at 2005.
3. Across the dataset, refurbished the unit-descriptor metadata.

Dataset properties:

• Activity classification: Vietnam Standard Industrial Classification (VSIC)
• Measurement: Moving-base index relative to previous period (Index prv. per.=100)
• Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
• Frequency: Annual
• Start date: 2000

The series reside in the historical catalog (Vietnam » Price » Producer price index » Previous year=100) and are:

• PPIFBVUA.IVNM = [DISCONTINUED] Producer price index: Food and beverage, (Index prv. per.=100)
• PPIBMTUA.IVNM = [DISCONTINUED] Metal articles, (Index prv. per.=100)
• PPIPCHUA.IVNM = [DISCONTINUED] Cultivation products, (Index prv. per.=100
• PPI10UA.IVNM  = Food products, (Index prv. per.=100)

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.
