What KNBS has released lately

Lists the documents KNBS has added to its website, newest first, with each one's release series where it belongs to one — the monthly CPI and inflation release, Leading Economic Indicators, the quarterly GDP and balance of payments reports, the Economic Survey and the rest — and the call that downloads it. Tenders, job adverts and other notices are left out unless asked for.

knbs_releases()                    # the last 30 days
knbs_releases(series = "cpi")      # every CPI release, latest first
knbs_releases(series = "cpi")[1, ] # has this month's come out?

Usage

knbs_releases(
  since = NULL,
  until = NULL,
  series = NULL,
  notices = FALSE,
  cache = knbs_option("cache"),
  refresh = FALSE
)

Arguments

since, until

Keep releases on or after since and on or before until: dates, or "YYYY-MM-DD" strings. By default the last 30 days, or, when series is given, the series' whole history in the library.

series

Keep only these series: ids or names from knbs_release_series(), matched without regard to case ("cpi", "lei", "Economic Survey").

notices

Whether to include tenders, adverts and other notices.

cache

Whether to use the local cache.

refresh

Whether to re-list the library.

Value

A knbs_catalogue tibble: release_date, series, period, title, format, publication_id, landing_page, and get — the call that downloads the document.

Details

The date is the day the document was uploaded to the website, which is the day it was released for regular publications. It is not the period covered, and older releases were uploaded in bulk when the library was set up in mid-2023. period gives the month ("2026-09") or quarter ("2026-Q2") a title names, and is NA where the title names neither.

A document's series is read from its title by a curated list of KNBS's regular releases, see knbs_release_series(); titles vary ("Kenya Residential Proprety Price Index", "Leading Economic Indicators- March 2026"), so the patterns allow for that. A document matching no series has series NA. Notices are titles naming a tender, procurement, framework agreement, advert, vacancy or employment form.

The publications library is listed once a day and cached, as for knbs_search().
