New Data: Hong Kong - GFCF - SA [UPDATED]
Tuesday, 29 May 2018 12:21 ET
By Daniel Luckenbach
Summary
May 2018 -- For analytical consistency in the quarterly national accounts of Hong Kong, we have computed seasonally adjusted counterparts to select gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) components (three new quarterly series from 1973). [Updated 29 May 2018.]
Detail

Motivation: The Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSARG) reports select GDP(E) indicators in seasonally adjusted terms, but not gross fixed capital formation detailed by type of asset and institutional sector.

Response: We have created seasonally adjusted (SA) counterparts.

Properties: The series are quarterly and start at 1973Q1. Figures are millions of chained year-2016 Hong Kong dollars (HKD). Expect our SA series to be revised with each update to the NSA series. Supplemental series of this kind are identified by a secondary source citation of "Moody's Analytics Adjusted".

The series resides in the historical catalog (Hong Kong » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Quarterly » Chained prices) and are:

  • NACEGFCFCNPEAQ.IHKG  = National accounts: Expenditure approach - Gross domestic fixed capital formation - Building and construction - Private sector, (Mil. Ch. 2016 HKD, SA)
  • NACEGFCFCNPUAQ.IHKG  = Building and construction - Public sector
  • NACEGFCFMEIPUAQ.IHKG = Machinery; equipment and intellectual property products - Public sector

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.
