What building it taught us

The connector's own docstring, verbatim. It lives beside the code so it cannot drift from it.

Samoa consumer prices from the Samoa Bureau of Statistics (SBS).

SBS publishes a complete current-base SDMX file, a monthly workbook and bulletin catalogue, and historical summary tables. The SDMX file supplies continuous national group indices from January 2011 and the February-2016 basket. The latest workbook extends the data by one month and retains the headline, underlying, local, imported, and local/imported-underlying cuts with published month-on-month and point-to-point annual rates.

The current series is explicitly based on February 2016 average prices. SBS's historical summary says it replaced a 2010-base basket; that retired family is kept in the archived catalogue and summary evidence and is never spliced onto the current detailed series.
