West Bank and GazaIMFwhole seriessuppressedWBG.CPI_*2026-09-02Possible index rebasing, Single-month index anomaly
Both shape checks are defeated here, and by the same thing. The single-month outlier rule requires a month to sit far outside its neighbours WHILE THEY AGREE with each other; in Gaza in 2024 and 2025 consecutive months differ by 28% legitimately, so two of its months clear that bar without being defects. The threshold was left where the rest of the database wants it and this territory named here instead: moving a number until one country disappears is not a finding. The check fires eight times for West Bank and Gaza between Jul 2024 and Nov 2025, and this is the check misreading real data rather than a defect. A rebasing happens once and is permanent; these move in both directions and never settle -- the headline index runs +9.2%, +14.8%, +3.0%, -32.6%, -14.1%, +14.0%, +30.7%, +23.6% across nine months, and WBG appears in both the 'level returns' and 'level stays down' populations. That is a wartime economy, and the numbers are the source's best account of it. Suppressed rather than confirmed: nothing here is wrong with the data.
