  • Disagrees with itself6 Feb 2019

    The report of 6 Feb 2019 gives the previous day's price as 100; that day's own report gave 95.

    Price previous: 95 and 100, difference 0.053.

    CBSL/downloads/Statistics/Economic Indicators/Price Report/2019/price_report_20190206e - Daily Price Report - 06 February 2019.pdf: previous-day column = 100.0, but 2019-02-01's own figure = 95.0 (5.3% 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'.
