The World Bank does not publish monthly forecasts for these indexes, so the monthly column shows observed changes only. Yearly and monthly figures cover different periods and must not be added or compounded.

Regional official price sources

The World Bank index shows global direction. Local bills depend on national tariffs and market prices, so these are the official local publishers we have checked. Figures are in local currency, not converted, and are reference prices, not quotes.
