Sri LankaIMF2024-04-01confirmedLKA.CPI_CP05_*2026-09-02Single-month index anomaly
One month multiplied by ten, not a rebasing. Sri Lanka's furnishings index reads 186.34 in March 2024, 1,875.00 in April, and 187.40 in May, and carries on from there -- 188.4 by July. The two months either side agree with each other to 0.6%, so there is no new base: there is one wrong cell, off by a factor of ten, in a series that is otherwise continuous. The earlier reading of this as a base change was drawn from base_break, which only detects falls and therefore lands on the month AFTER the defect, and it had the practical consequence backwards: levels either side of April 2024 are directly comparable.
