| Methodological notes: |
| In all reports on economic indicators, the different comparison periods must be taken into account. The focus of economic monitoring is the comparison of seasonally and calendar-adjusted values with the previous month/quarter. This allows for an assessment of short-term economic trends. Year-on-year comparisons serve as a longer-term benchmark and are largely independent of seasonal fluctuations. |
