In response, we have:

1. Archived the predecessors (2013=100, January 2013 to December 2018) by renaming with an "_13" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
2. Created one-for-one replacements (2018=100) from January 2018 with standardized mnemonics.
3. Extended the general index.
4. Updated our seasonally adjusted supplement to the general index.

Dataset properties:

• Classification: Clasificación del Consumo Individual por Finalidades (CCIF), the local adaptation of UN COICOP
• Measurement: Fixed-based index relative to 2018 (Index 2018=100)
• Adjustment: Not seasonally adjusted (NSA)
• Native frequency: Monthly
• Start dates:
• Reported from January 2018
• General index extended to March 1928

The series reside in the historical catalog (Chile » Price » Consumer price index) and include, for example:

• CPITT_13AM.ICHL = [DISCONTINUED] Consumer price index: General, (Index 2018=100, SA)
• CPITTUM.ICHL    = General, (Index 2018=100, NSA)
• CPICLFUM.ICHL   = Clothing and shoes [3]
• CPIHTRUM.ICHL   = Restaurants and hotels [11]

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.
