Documentation

Three measurement families, in the famille column, never to be confused: the unit value index tracks prices, the volume index tracks quantities, and current value tracks actual amounts in billions of dinars. They follow one another in the same bulletin under very similar headings — and nothing in the figures would betray a swap between them. The family was therefore read from each table title, never from its position.

Three classifications coexist and must not be merged; the classification column keeps them apart:

  • SITC section — the international classification, in recent quarterly editions;
  • use group — food, raw materials, semi-finished goods, agricultural and industrial equipment, consumer goods;
  • geographic zone — European Union, North America, Maghreb, Arab countries, and other origins.

Bringing them together would produce seemingly continuous series mixing two classification systems.

The est_total column marks summary rows. They are not categories: adding them to the others would count the same amount twice.

Coverage: 100 periods, from Q1 2000 to Q3 2023, across 24 bulletins. Mixed periodicities — quarter, half-year, year — each kept as such in periode (2022-S1, 2017).

Verification. Where the document publishes structure shares, they must sum to 100% for each nomenclature, direction and period — the sharpest check available on this family, which a single misattributed row defeats. Values were also cross-checked by hand against the source PDFs. No retained bulletin shows a discrepancy.

What the verification does not cover: these bulletins do not systematically republish one another, so cross-checking between independent documents is only partial. 40 of 64 bulletins use yet different layouts and are not included here — coverage is not exhaustive, and no gap has been filled by estimation.
