Consumer price index

Source

The same category from more than one publisher. The national statistics office is the record; the IMF's series are its own compilation and can differ in definition, coverage and vintage.

Series family

INEC's native 2024 and 2013 reference-base families remain separate; Living Data does not splice or rebase them.

Geography

INEC publishes the national urban area, Panama province (Panama and San Miguelito in the 2013 family), and the rest of urban areas.

Frequency

Frequencies are separate source series, not interchangeable observations. Annual measures retain their source definitions.

Not a suspension, and this database can prove it. The gap check sees three missing months from August 2023 and calls it a pause in publishing; the revisions table says the IMF PUBLISHED August, September and October 2023 -- 99.73, 99.87, 99.68 -- and then withdrew all three in vintage 12. They are the first withdrawals the tombstone code ever recorded on live data. The year-over-year series lost six months rather than three, August to October 2023 and again August to October 2024, because those later months compare against the withdrawn ones: the derivation showing through in the revision record exactly as the arithmetic predicts. Why the source retracted the quarter is not established.
The gap check should eventually consult `revisions` and say 'withdrawn' where a tombstone covers the hole, rather than 'suspended'. Recorded here rather than built now: it is one country, and the sentence being wrong is a smaller problem than a check that reaches into a table it has never needed.
