Before using the evidence
Four questions that keep the conclusion honest

- 02Is the value observed, estimated, forecast or targeted, and has the series been revised?
- 03Does the indicator describe Kuwait · Country intelligence, Kuwait country dossier, Kuwait country dashboard, or is it only country or regional context that cannot be relabelled as sector demand?
