Dataset card

The Iran CPI and Inflation Multi-Source dataset, published by Farmaanaa, consolidates official Consumer Price Index and inflation series from the Statistical Centre of Iran (monthly) and the Central Bank of Iran (long historical annual series). It is distributed in Parquet format under a CC-BY-4.0 license and contains roughly 1,100 harmonized rows.

What this dataset contains

The dataset harmonizes two parallel official Iranian price statistics series into a single tabular resource, alongside an integrated view that combines both sources. It covers the CPI index, annual inflation, year-over-year inflation, and month-over-month inflation, each tagged with its publishing authority and frequency. Coverage is tagged as 1K<n<10K rows, indicating a compact but multi-decade historical compilation.

Structure and fields

Two Parquet files are provided: observations.parquet, the harmonized layer with one observation per row, and cpi.parquet, a source- and period-level view. Key columns include source_id, freq, period, year, month, base_year, cpi_index, inflation_annual, inflation_yoy, inflation_mom, and vintage, allowing analysts to distinguish monthly Statistical Centre figures from annual Central Bank vintages.

How analysts use it

Macro and emerging-markets analysts can use the source_id and vintage fields to track revisions between the Statistical Centre of Iran and the Central Bank, and to construct consistent CPI backbones for inflation modeling. The freq, base_year, and inflation_yoy columns support regime studies, currency-overlay research, and cross-country inflation comparisons relevant to frontier-market funds with exposure to Iranian assets or sanctions-related hedging scenarios.
