Explanatory Notes

Introduction

Since 1995, the Department of Statistics (DOS) has been compiling the quarterly Wholesale Trade Index

(WTI) to measure the short-term performance of the wholesale trade industry. Wholesalers supply the

merchandise to manufacturers, commercial and institutional clients for use in production, or to other

wholesalers and retailers for resale. The index series consists of the Domestic WTI and Foreign WTI. The

Domestic WTI measures the quarterly trend of wholesale sales in Singapore, while the Foreign WTI

measures that of wholesale sales outside Singapore, which comprises sales of off-shore merchandise,

domestic exports, re-exports and transhipment cargo.

The WTI series is presented at current prices and constant prices. The indices at current prices measure

the changes of sales values, which can result from changes in both price and quantity. After removing

the price effect, the indices at constant prices measure the changes in the volume of economic activity

in the wholesale trade industry.

To reflect changes in the structure of the wholesale trade industry, the coverage and weighting patterns

of the WTI series are revised regularly. The WTI series have been re-based from reference year 2012 to

2017, the fourth re-basing exercise of the series. The new WTI series (2017=100) have been released

starting from the 1Q2018 report.

Data Collection

The data used for the compilation of the WTI are obtained from the Quarterly Wholesale Trade Survey

(WTS) conducted by DOS, as well as from administrative sources.

Index Compilation

The overall sales index at current prices is a weighted average of indices at the detailed industry level.

To derive the sales index at detailed industry level, the quarterly wholesale sales for that industry is

divided by the average quarterly wholesale sales for the same industry in the base year (which is 2017).

The overall WTI is then computed by combining the sales indices of the detailed industries, using

weights which measure each industry’s relative importance in the overall wholesale trade industry.

To derive the indices at constant prices, the sales indices at current prices at the detailed industry level

are first deflated by the appropriate price indices. These component indices at constant prices are then

weighted and aggregated to derive the overall indices at constant prices.


Fourth Quarter 2019

Seasonal Adjustment

The WTI series is seasonally adjusted to remove the seasonal effects so as to better reflect the

underlying trend of the quarterly sales. The unadjusted indices display seasonal patterns arising from

intra-year periodic variations that repeat during the fixed period of time every year.
