Finding Data using Concept Codes
To access the codes of all economic concepts
available in the IMF data site, click on IMF
Data – Indicator Mapping Report. It contains the list of
concepts with their corresponding former Publications codes (codes formerly used in the printed and CD publications) and the codes in the IMF Data
platform.
As of August 25, 2017, following a major streamlining and standardization exercise, a number of series were removed or added. To find the list, click here.
The IMF new Data Indicator Code conforms to a standard as prescribed by the SDMX (Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange) system.
