- Notes
- CBSL Annual Economic Review Special Statistical Appendix. A long annual splice CBSL itself compiles across every base-year rebasing since independence, specifically to give one continuous read where the ordinary statistical tables only hold the post-rebasing years. Table 6: Government Fiscal Operations, 1950-2025. CONFIRMED the same measure as held FIS.SUMMARY.* (exact value match, see module docstring) - FIS.SUMMARY (1990-2025) is demoted to a mirror in supersede() and this long-run splice becomes canonical over the full 1950-2025 span. Column suffixes deliberately match FIS.SUMMARY's own suffixes.
