- 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
