Method Notes:

Different comparison periods should be taken into account in all statements relating to economic indicators. The focus of economic observation is to compare with the previous month / quarter. Short-term economic growth can be read from this. The comparison with the previous year is a long-term comparison of conditions and independent of seasonal fluctuations. In the current corona crisis, sometimes strong declines and increases can lead to very different results compared to the previous month / quarter and year. Two perspectives are important: How is economic growth compared to the previous month / previous quarter, and how far is the capture process compared to the previous year’s level? In order to implement a direct comparison to the pre-crisis level, comparisons for the 4th quarter of February 2020 and 2019 will be shown in all press releases and adjusted accordingly.

The first preliminary detailed results are available for download through the chapters on the list of products for country of birth / destination and foreign trade figures.
