Abstract

This paper describes the seasonal adjustment algorithm used by the Bank of Russia to clean up data for ‘Monitoring of Sectoral Financial Flows’ weekly publication. We have developed a simple and fast procedure based on a set of trigonometric functions and dummy variables that demonstrates good results in terms of various quality metrics and can be easily modified for working with more flexible model specifications.
