Monthly currency exchange rate estimates by market - Burundi

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: Kayanza, Ruyigi, Bubanza, Karuzi, Bujumbura Mairie, Muramvya, Gitega, Rumonge, Bururi, Kirundo, Cankuzo, Cibitoke, Muyinga, Rutana, Bujumbura Rural, Makamba, Ngozi, Mwaro, Market Average

货币兑换率是经济政策制定的重要指标，但传统数据源在危机期间往往存在延迟，且仅能提供汇总层面的数据。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况的人口。本数据集包含货币汇率估算值，旨在帮助深入了解传统方法无法正式测量的价格发展趋势。估算值采用机器学习方法生成，该方法通过填补持续的次国家价格调查，其准确性往往与直接测量价格相当。该数据集为研究人口对局部价格冲击敏感以及传统数据不可得的地区的局部价格动态提供了新的机遇。
