RevisionsQuarterly sector accounts are based on preliminary calculations. The uncertainty in the last quarter is the largest. New information is continuously being integrated into the figures, which could cause revisions in the previously released data. Quarterly sector accounts are also consolidated against the data from the quarterly national accounts data. When the last quarters of the unadjusted series are updated, seasonally-adjusted series may also be revised backwards. |
