Motivation: For Bahrain, we obtain consumer price measures from cross-national sources, the International Monetary Fund (International Financial Statistics) and the World Bank (Global Economic Monitor), but these are reported as month-over-month percent change, not seasonally adjusted.

Response: For international consistency, we have transformed the data to a fixed-base index, with a common base year, and seasonally adjusted.

Properties:

• Measurement: Fixed-base value index, January 2010=100
• Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
• Frequency: Quarterly
• Start date: 1975Q1
• Geo coverage: Nation

The estimate resides in the Data Buffet historical catalog (Bahrain » Price » Consumer Price Index » January 2010=100) and is:

• RCPIAQ.IBHR = Consumer price index - All items, (Index Jan2010=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.
