Data are based on individual countries' national accounts statistics. For many countries, the estimates of national saving are built up from national accounts data on gross domestic investment and from balance of payments-based data on net foreign investment. Source: National Statistical Office Latest actual data: 2009 GDP valuation: Market prices Start/end months of reporting year: January/December Base year: 2005. DANE (Colombia Institute of Statistics) has done a rebasing of the national accounts (now base year is 2005 and before 2000). Data with the new base is ONLY AVAILABLE FROM 2000. The change also includes methodological changes (for example, direct estimation of private consumption based on a survey) and most important, change in the index formulae (historically a Laspeyres fixed-base index and now a Laspeyres chain index). The main implications are that the 2000 and 2005 series are not comparable and the chain index is associated with non-additivity of the components. Chain-weighted: Yes, from 2000 Primary domestic currency: Colombia
