Sources & methods Macro Edge Research assembles this series from retained CSB consumer-price publications in PDF and Excel. Overlapping prints are checked where readable; some historical files remain unrecognized. Changed files are compared within the supported numerical scope. Ambiguous revisions retain the accepted generation while the source evidence is reviewed; exact approved cell decisions precede the historical overlap rules. History before 2013 is chain-linked by MER from CSB's 2000 and 2007 bases and is not an official series. Kuwait publishes no seasonally adjusted CPI; all figures are NSA. Calculated changes are rounded for display. · Download the data shown (CSV, full payload) · Forecasts and track record → · Disclaimer
