## How the sources compare

Each provider measures Kyrgyzstan's price level slightly differently; a tight spread means high confidence.

These sources disagree — the figure above is the World Bank figure alone, decided by a person, not a blend.

Exchange regime: managed float. No parallel market: the IMF's 2025 Article IV records an exchange system 'free of multiple currency practices' and the som's official rate (87 per dollar, 2023-2024) is the market rate. Penn World Table's 0.18 (2023) is the outlier against World Bank and IMF at 0.306 (2024) and has no exchange-rate explanation; the World Bank figure is preferred.
