CODING DOCUMENTATION FOR IFS CD-ROM DATA SET A. Introduction A.1. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATISTICS (IFS) is the International Monetary Fund's principal statistical publication and has been published monthly in printed form since January 1948. In 1972 a 9- track magnetic tape subscription was introduced and in June 1991 the monthly publication of IFS on CD-ROM was inaugurated. Each CD-ROM edition is closely keyed to the same month's printed edition and contains data sets for most Fund members, as well as for Aruba, the Netherlands Antilles, and Switzerland. A.2. The CD-ROM subscription provides users with time series data covering approximately 26,000 economic concepts which show major economic aggregates used in the analysis of economic developments and includes data on the following topics: balance of payments, banking and financial systems, employment, exchange rates, Fund position, government finance, interest rates, international liquidity and banking, national accounts, population, prices, production, and trade. B. Contents of the CD-ROM B.1. The time series that are to be found in the CD-ROM publication include the following: 1) all series appearing on the IFS country pages; 2) all series published in the IFS world tables, except for the daily exchange rates appearing in the Exchange Rate tables; 3) the following exchange rate series as available (aa, ac, ae, af, ag, ah, b, c, de, dg, ea, eb, ec, ed, g, rb, rd, rf, rh, sa, sb, sc, sd, wa, wc, we, wf, wg, wh, xe, xf, ye, yf, nec, rec, aat, aet, rbt, rft, neu, reu, ahx, and amx); 4) Fund accounts time series, all in SDR terms (i.e., 2eb, 2eu, 2ey, 2tl, 1b.s, 1c.s, 2c.s, 2dus, 2ees, 2egs, 2ehs, 2eqs, 2ers, 2ets, 2f.s, 2h.s, 2kxs, and the following series which have the source code T--1bf, 2fz, 2kk, 2kl, 2lk, 2ll, and 2tl); 5) money index series (34..i); 6) export and import series (70..d and 71..d); 7) export and import unit value index series (74..d and 75..d); 8) balance of payments data on other goods, services, and income (series 77add and 77aed), other long- and short-term capital (series 77bcd and 77d.d), and details, as available, of exceptional financing (series 79a*d). The series referred to in item 3 above are for all IMF members, plus Aruba, Hong Kong, Netherlands Antilles, and Switzerland. The series referred to in items 4 through 8 are for all countries for which data are available though some are not published in IFS. All series on the IFS CD-ROM contain control source code F except for the previously mentioned Fund accounts series which contain the code T (see item 4 of paragraph B.1.). B.2. The CD-ROM contains data in three frequencies (annual, quarterly, and monthly). When the data are available, the annual entries generally begin in 1948, with quarterly and monthly entries beginning in 1957. All data items are stored internally in a compressed form of scientific notation which maintains 8 significant digits of accuracy for every observation. The data may be presented either in scaled decimal numbers (e.g., units, millions, billions, etc.) or in scientific notation. B.3. Each time series in the CD-ROM publication contains a number of meta data items that describe some aspect of series. Searching capabilities are provided for most of these meta data fields, although some of them may not be viewed in any of the display screens. However, one of the print/export screens (the screen titled "Upload") does allow all of these meta data items to be exported to DOS files. A brief description of all of these meta data items is given in this document, and a list of these items follows: base year partner country name beginning period qualification code break/footnote indicator region code classification code 1 scale classification code 2 section code control/source code source country/area code source code country/area name splice code coverage (number of years) subsection code data type code time series code decimal code topic English descriptor topic (subject) code equation level update date frequency update day magnitude update month magnitude code update year national language descriptor version code partner country code C. Description of Time Series Code C.1. Time series in the CD-ROM publication are uniquely identified by a thirteen-character time series code which is associated with all time series in the IFS database. A detailed description of the time series code is given below. Briefly, the time series code, CCCTTTTTVSPPP, is constructed as follows: CCC - Three-character country code (always numeric) TTTTT - Five-character topic code (usually 2 numerics followed by 3 alphabetics) V - Single-character version code (always alphabetic) S - Single-character control source code (always alphabetic) PPP - Three-character partner country code (usually numeric) As a matter of convention, periods (i.e., the punctuation mark ".") are always used in the CD-ROM publication as position holders to indicate a blank in the time series code (e.g., "001.7xrdzf900", "111..AEZF...", or "738.4a.d..."). C.2. Country/Area Code in Time Series Code C.2.1. The country code identifies the country or area to which the time series data relate. The term 'country,' as used in this publication, does not in all cases refer to a territorial entity that is a state as understood by international law and practice; the term also covers some territorial entities that are not states but for which statistical data are maintained and provided internationally on a separate and independent basis. C.2.2. The country code always consists of three numeric digits. The first digit provides regional grouping as follows: 0 world or all country aggregates 1 industrial countries 2,3 Western Hemisphere 4 Middle East 5,8 Asia 6,7 Africa 9 centrally managed economies and miscellaneous C.2.3. A complete list of the country codes is provided on the final pages of this document, first in numerical order, and then in alphabetical order. In addition, the inside back cover of each issue of IFS contains country code lists for that publication. Data pertaining to an area provide aggregated data for countries that comprise that area. C.3. Topic (Subject) Code in Time Series Code C.3.1. The topic code is a five position alphanumeric code indicating the subject or topic for each time series. In the IFS printed publication, the topic code may be found at the outer side of the page. The first two characters are always numeric or blank, the next three characters are always alphabetic or blank. In the printed publication a "." or period is inserted as a place holder when the position is blank, except at the beginning or end of the code. In addition, the printed publication provides a key to commodity codes (positions 4 and 5 of the subject code); the key appears on the inside back cover of each issue. In the CD-ROM publication the "." is always shown when a position would otherwise be blank. C.3.2. The first position of the topic code (sometimes referred to as the section code) identifies the institutional, topical, or subject area of this series. The section codes used in IFS are as follows: . exchange rate, Fund position, or international liquidity 1 monetary authorities 2 deposit money banks 3 monetary survey 4 other banking/nonbank financial institutions 5 banking survey/financial survey 6 interest, prices, or production 7 international transactions 8 government finance 9 national accounts or population C.3.3. The second through fourth positions of the topic code are also known as the subsection code, classification code 1, and classification code 2 respectively. Their usage is not sufficiently standardized to warrant further discussion. C.3.4. The fifth position of the subject code (sometimes referred to as the qualification code), when specified, provides information about special characteristics of the data. It may indicate a statistical procedure, an institutional identity, a level of government, or the currency of the data observation. The list below summarizes these qualification codes. blank - national currency (n.c.) data or unadjusted data A - seasonal factors B - seasonally adjusted by IMF C - seasonally adjusted by reporting country D - U.S. dollars E - transactions in convertible currencies F - U.S. dollars, seasonally adjusted P - constant prices (unadjusted) Q - constant prices (seasonal factors) R - constant prices (seasonally adjusted by reporting country) S - SDRs T - indicates a comparable time series that requires more than one magnitude U - SDRs, seasonally adjusted X - exchange rate index Y - price quotation or unit value in n.c. units Z - price quotation or unit value in U.S. dollars C.3.5. These qualification codes are also used depending on subject area as follows: a. For deposit money banks (section code 2), topic code position 5 provides institutional breakdowns. These codes may be found on individual country pages in the corresponding monthly publication where the nonstandard nature of the institution is explained in the country notes. b. For nonbank financial institutions (section code 4), the code is used to distinguish types of institutions which are generally as follows: F - finance and securities companies G, H, I, J - savings institutions K, M, N, O - development institutions L, S - insurance companies X - trustee accounts c. For government finance the topic code is used to distinguish levels of government as follows: blank - central government H - central government, expanded data with broader coverage than monthly and quarterly data C.4. Version Code in Time Series Code: A one-position alphabetic code used to identify the various revisions of concept and content of a time series. The first version is identified by Z and each successive version (created by revision) is identified by earlier letters in successive sequence Y, X, W.... For the IFS CD-ROM publication there are only Z versions. All time series have been butt spliced except index number time series and some currency conversion factor (exchange rate) time series. Butt splicing creates a continuous time series unadjusted from the various versions, giving priority to the latest version. Series that have been spliced are marked with B (indicating the splicing formula) in the break/footnote indicator of the data observation at the point of splice. C.5. Control/Source Code in Time Series Code: An alphabetic code which identifies either the source of the data or the publication containing the series. All series on the IFS tape contain control source code F except for certain Fund account series which contain the source code T (i.e., 1bf, 2fz, 2kk, 2kl, 21k, 2ll, and 2tl). A listing of the valid control/source codes is given in paragraph D.15. below. C.6. Partner Country Code in Time Series Code: A three-position numeric code which is most commonly used to designate the partner country in those time series which specify transactions between countries. For IFS data, a partner code is included in only a limited number of cases. When it exists, it usually is shown in the printed publication in either the mid-heading (see tables on International Banking and Real Effective Exchange Rate Indexes) or in the notes (see Commodity Price notes, in which case the three- position partner code that is designating the commodity is alphanumeric). D. ADDITIONAL META DATA ITEMS D.1. Base Year: An alphanumeric field which identifies the base year for index number time series and for which all data have been adjusted accordingly. This field applies to derivative series only. D.2. Beginning Period: The period (i.e., year, year and quarter, or year and month) of the first observation in a series. D.3. Break/Footnote Indicator: An alphabetic break/footnote indicator is associated with each data point in the CD-ROM publication. It may contain the following codes: B - Identifies the point at which multiple time series versions are linked by butt splicing* D - Identifies data observations estimated from lower frequency data by distribution routines* E - Identifies observations that are estimated by economic staff H - Identifies unreported data (observation contains zero)* I - Identifies data observation estimated by interpolation routines* J - Identifies the point at which preceding or subsequent data are not applicable for estimation routines. This indicator is used mainly to suppress estimation of data during calculation of area summations K - Identifies a break in the analytical comparability of data L - Identifies a break in the technical comparability of data M - Draws attention to a specific fact that should assist in the interpretation of the data N - Draws attention to specific data that is of technical interest only P - (GFS, IFS) Indicates that data are in whole or in part provisional, preliminary, or projected Q - (GFS) Indicates that the data cell is in whole or in part provisional, preliminary, or projected R - Identifies the point at which multiple time series versions are linked by ratio splicing using first annual overlap* S - Identifies the point at which multiple time series versions are linked by ratio splicing using all annual overlaps* T - Identifies the point at which multiple time series versions are linked by ratio splicing using all annual, quarterly, and monthly overlaps* U - Indicates that original data value is not to be overlaid with subsequent calculated data V - (IFS) Indicates data that are new or have changed since the previous issue of the publication; does not indicate changes in dimension, unit, decimal, or the addition of countries to IFS* W - Indicates that data value is not available and should not be calculated from other data X - Identifies data observations estimated from lower-frequency data by extrapolation routines* _________ * these indicators are automatically generated. D.4. Country/Area Name: A field which names in English the reporting country for which the data pertain. D.5. Coverage (number of years): The number of years for which data observations are available for a given series. D.6. Decimal Code: A one-position numeric code which indicates the number of decimal places assumed from the right-most position of the data for that time series. The valid codes are 0 - 6. D.7. English Descriptor: A field which describes in English the subject of the time series. D.8. Equation Level: An alphabetic letter that specifies the order of calculation of nested equations. Allowable values are A through Z, where A level equations are calculated first, followed by other level equations in alphabetical order. D.9. Frequency: The time structure of a series. Valid values are A, Q, and M for annual, quarterly, and monthly data respectively. D.10. Magnitude: A field which describes in English the magnitude of the time series (e.g., thousands of n.c. units, billions of SDRs, etc.). D.11. Magnitude Code: A one-position alphanumeric code which indicates the unit of measurement (weights, volumes, currencies, etc.) and the scale (units, thousands, millions, etc.) of a series. The valid codes are as follows: A - (specified n.c. units) per U.S. dollar B - (specified n.c. units) per U.S. cents C - U.S. dollar per (unit of specified n.c.) D - U.S. cents per (unit of specified n.c.) E - (specified n.c. units) per SDR F - SDRs per (unit of specified n.c.) S - Millions of SDRs T - Billions of SDRs 0 - Unspecified units (generally named in descriptor) V - U.S. dollars per (unit of unspecified n.c.) 1 - Millions of U.S. dollars 2 - Millions of (specified n.c. units) 3 - Billions of U.S. dollars 4 - Billions of (specified n.c. units) 5 - Percent per annum 6 - Index number 7 - Thousands of U.S. dollars 8 - Thousands of (specified n.c. units) 9 - Millions > - Trillions of (specified n.c. units) G - Metric tons H - Thousand metric tons I - Thousand barrels J - Kilograms K - Thousand long tons L - Long tons M - Millions fine troy ounces N - Thousand cwt (100 pounds) O - Thousand cubic meters P - Thousand cwt (112 pounds) Q - 100 pounds R - 1000 pounds U - U.S. dollars per metric ton W - Fine kilograms X - Thousand fine kilograms Y - Thousand fine ounces Z - Fine ounces $ - U.S. cents per pound * - U.S. dollars per short ton # - U.S. dollars per barrel & - U.S. dollars per bushel ; - U.S. dollars per fine ounce - - Millions of metric tons / - U.S. dollars per pound ) - Million barrels ( - SDRs per fine ounce _ - U.S. dollars per 100 yards = - Thousand gallons D.12. National Language Descriptor: A description of a time series usually given in a national language (e.g., French, Spanish, etc.). D.13. Scale: The scale factor used for the default presentation of the data in decimal format (i.e., if the default presentation is in millions of units, the scale factor will be 6.) D.14. Source: A field which describes in English the source of the time series (see examples of the source in D.15. below). D.15. Source Code: A one-position alphabetic code used to identify either the IMF publication in which the data are published or place from which the data originated. This code is separate and is additional to the control/source code included in the time series code. This code generally indicates the source of the data, whereas the control/source code generally indicates the publication. The following list identifies the valid data source codes and control/source codes: Central bank annual report A Central bank bulletin B IMF area departments or Research Department C Direction of Trade Statistics (DOTS) D Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development E International Financial Statistics (IFS) F Government Finance Statistics Yearbook (GFSY) G Exchange and Trade Relations Department H IBRD commodities (original sources) J IBRD commodities (calculated from J) K International Labor Organization L Data supplied directly to IMF by national authorities N Balance of payments series (national source) P Balance of Payments Statistics (BOPS) Q Balance of payments (historical data) R Statistical office's publications S IMF Treasurer's Department T United Nations U National Bureau of Economic Research Z D.16.

Topic: A field which describes in English the topic (subject) of the series (e.g., prices, national accounts, etc.). D.18. Type Code: A one-position alphanumeric code which identifies the data in the time series as stock, flow, or average. This code also defines the way the months relate to the quarters and the way the months and quarters relate to the years. That is, this code indicates whether lower-frequency data can be or are derived from higher-frequency data. It also identifies the end of the fiscal year of the time series data. The following table provides information on this code ("conditionally" means derivation is performed only if the desired observation does not already exist).
