There are some values missing from data so users of the data will have to *guess* what should be in the empty slots.
The actual download happens via [The World Bank's API (with csv as the requested format) (CPI)](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/en/indicator/NY.GDP.DEFL.KD.ZG?downloadformat=csv), [The World Bank's API (with csv as the requested format) (GDP)](https://api.worldbank.org/v2/en/indicator/FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG?downloadformat=csv).
