New Estimates: Kenya - CPI
Friday, 10 Nov 2017 07:58 ET
By Dylan Horst
Summary
November 2017 -- Moody's Analytics now estimates a seasonally adjusted consumer price index for Kenya (one each new monthly and quarterly series from 1968).
Detail

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.
