There is no official machine-readable archive for Kuwait's CPI, so this series is assembled by Macro Edge Research from every CSB consumer-price publication since 2007 — 334 issues in two formats, each month cross-validated across every issue that prints it and across the PDF/Excel pair of the same issue, disagreements resolved by majority. 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, one decimal place as printed. The full construction — formats, base-year chain-linking, cross-validation and quarantines — is documented in the reconstruction methodology. · Forecasts and track record → · Disclaimer
