METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
Data are seasonally adjusted.
Data for the last 9 months are provisional. With each release, the data for the last 10 months can be corrected and supplemented with new data. The data published for the tenth time become final.
With the release for January 2024, we transitioned to the new base year 2021 and a new observation unit - kind of activity unit (KAU). The data were revised until January 2021 inclusive and are published at the level of the new observation unit. The data before that period differ from them and are published at the enterprise level.
With the release for February 2024, to comply with Eurostat recommendations, the data for the period before 2021 were recalculated to the average of the base year 2021 at the enterprise level. Previously published data were calculated using the average of the base year 2021 at the kind of activity unit (KAU) level. The data from 2021 on are still calculated at the latter level.
