In November 2017 and 2018, the source advanced the currency reference year to 2015 and 2016, respectively—but it has now changed back to 2015.
In a direct communication, the source explained:
Our new figures are from now on expressed with reference year 2015. We will fix this reference year for all our series at 2015 for the coming 5 years. In this way, we are more in line with the policy used by Eurostat.
In response, we have:
- Archived the predecessors (reference year 2016, 1995Q1 to 2019Q2) by renaming with an "_16" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
- Created one-for-one replacements (reference year 2015).
- Similarly replaced the current-priced series, which may have been revised aside from the currency reference year.
- Refurbished mnemonics and metadata where necessary.
- Transplanted global concept aliases.
Notable properties (for full list, see Mnemonic 411):
- Currency reference year, applicable to inflation-adjusted measures and deflators: Changed from 2016 to 2015
- Start date: Unchanged
The series reside in the historical catalog:
- Belgium » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Quarterly
- Belgium » National Accounts » by Value Add » Quarterly » 2015 prices
- Belgium » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Discontinued » ... » 2016 prices
- Belgium » National Accounts » by Value Add » Discontinued » 2016 prices, 1995 to 2019
Please be aware that
Where necessary, we have renamed series to explicitly indicate that the inflation-adjustment method is chained prices, not constant prices. For such series, please see the attached concordance. You will need to amend baskets and other legacy retrievals.
- NAC· » NAH· = Chained prices (35 series)
- NAJ· » NAK· = Chained volume index (6 series)
