  • Disagrees with itself27 Aug 2020

    The report of 27 Aug 2020 gives the previous day's price as 98; that day's own report gave 108.

    Price previous: 108 and 98, difference 0.093.

    CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2020/price_report_20200827e - Daily Price Report - 27 August 2020.pdf: previous-day column = 98.0, but 2020-08-26's own figure = 108.0 (9.3% apart)

    The report's 'yesterday' column differs from the previous report's 'today' on 0.2% of comparisons in 2021-2026 (364 of 209,923) and 1.1% in 2019-2020 (357 of 33,249, clustered in a few reports whose 'yesterday' column restates a different day): CBSL correcting a price the next day, or a typo in one of the two. Which is right is not known; the observation is each day's own 'today'.
