Motivation: For Kenya, we obtain consumer price measures from cross-national sources -- the International Monetary Fund (International Financial Statistics) and the World Bank (Global Economic Monitor) -- which are reported as fixed-base indexes, with different base years, not seasonally adjusted.
Response: For international consistency, we have transformed the data to a common base year, and seasonally adjusted.
Properties:
- Measurement: Fixed-base value index, 2010=100
- Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
- Frequency: Monthly or quarterly
- Start date: 1968M1 or 1968Q1
- Geo coverage: Nation
The estimates reside in the Data Buffet historical catalog (Kenya » Price » Consumer Price Index » Index 2010=100) and are:
- RCPIAQ.IKEN = Consumer Price Index, (Index 2010=100, SA)
- RCPIAM.IKEN = Consumer Price Index, (Index 2010=100, SA)
Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
