CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2019/price_report_20190124e_0 - Daily Price Report - 24 January 2019.pdf: previous-day column = 160.0, but 2019-01-22's own figure = 150.0 (6.7% 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.
