Monthly currency exchange rate estimates by market - Iraq

Abstract
---------------------------

Currency exchange rate is an important metric to inform economic policy but traditional sources are often produced with delay during crises and only at an aggregate level. This may poorly reflect the actual rate trends in rural or poverty-stricken areas, where large populations reside in fragile situations.
This data set includes currency exchange rate estimates and is intended to help gain insight in price developments beyond what can be formally measured by traditional methods. The estimates are generated using a machine-learning approach that imputes ongoing subnational price surveys, often with accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The data set provides new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in areas where populations are sensitive to localized price shocks and where traditional data are not available.

Geographic coverage notes
---------------------------

The data cover the following sub-national areas: Anbar, Babil, Baghdad, Basrah, Diyala, Dahuk, Erbil, Ninewa, Kerbala, Kirkuk, Missan, Muthanna, Najaf, Qadissiya, Salah al-Din, Sulaymaniyah, Thi-Qar, Wassit, Market Average

摘要
---------------------------
货币兑换率是制定经济政策的重要指标，但在危机期间，传统来源往往延迟产出，且仅以汇总水平提供信息。这可能导致对农村或贫困地区的实际汇率趋势反映不足，而这些地区居住着大量处于脆弱状态的人口。
本数据集包含了货币兑换率的估算值，旨在帮助深入了解超越传统方法正式测量的价格发展趋势。估算值通过机器学习方法生成，该方法对持续的次国家级价格调查进行插补，其准确性通常与直接测量价格相当。该数据集为研究当地价格动态提供了新的机遇，特别是在人口对局部价格冲击敏感且传统数据不可用的地区。
