 -
 - Added methods :meth:`IntegerArray.prod`, :meth:`IntegerArray.min`, and :meth:`IntegerArray.max` (:issue:`33790`)
 - Where possible :meth:`RangeIndex.difference` and :meth:`RangeIndex.symmetric_difference` will return :class:`RangeIndex` instead of :class:`Int64Index` (:issue:`36564`)
+- Added :meth:`MultiIndex.dtypes` (:issue:`37062`)
 - Added :meth:`Rolling.sem()` and :meth:`Expanding.sem()` to compute the standard error of mean (:issue:`26476`).
 - :meth:`Rolling.var()` and :meth:`Rolling.std()` use Kahan summation and Welfords Method to avoid numerical issues (:issue:`37051`)
 - :meth:`DataFrame.corr` and :meth:`DataFrame.cov` use Welfords Method to avoid numerical issues (:issue:`37448`)
