{"id":10148,"slug":"african-export-measure-stability-key-figures","title":"Headline figures: how stable the two African export measures are over 20 Spotify panel days","source":"Computed from this desk's registered datasets african-banked-export-share-series, african-export-stock-vs-flow-separation, african-export-banked-share-ex-france-oct-nov-2026 and african-export-banked-stock","source_url":"","source_type":"computed","method":"Every row here is either a count read off the panel or a ratio of two figures already registered in the datasets named above, computed so that the piece does not do arithmetic in prose. The three derived ratios are: the high-regime minimum banked export share divided by the low-regime maximum; the reported 20-day range of the banked measure divided by its range once the single French chart row is removed; and the empty interval between the two regimes divided by the largest gap between any two adjacent readings of the one-day measure. Each is rounded to four decimal places. Limits: 20 panel days, and the panel is the days this desk ran the collector rather than every calendar day. Chart streams are tracks inside a market's published top 200, not catalogue consumption. Banked totals are capped by how long the source has tracked each market, so they are not streams since release. Spotify publishes a daily chart for 4 African countries out of 54, so the African side of the panel is thin by construction, and these figures describe an indicator's behaviour rather than African listening.","unit":"mixed","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
