In a direct communication, the source explained:
The revision of the turnover index in retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles are due to routine revisions. There has not been a change in methodology for the turnover index in retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles.
In response, we have:
- Synchronized the 24 historical verbatim series (2017M1 to 2019M2).
- Updated our two seasonally adjusted supplements.
- Not appended a notation to the series metadata, because this is not a definitional break.
The series reside in the historical catalog (Luxembourg » Consumer » Retail sales index » 2015=100) and include, for example:
- WRI472UM.ILUX = Retail sale of food, beverages and tobacco in specialised stores [47.2], (Index 2015=100, NSA)
- WRI47UM.ILUX = Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles [47], (Index 2015=100, NSA)
- WRI47AM.ILUX = Retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles [47], (Index 2015=100, SA)
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.
