 First estimate    * Provisional data     Non-final data

 

Real GDP changes have been estimated using a chain-linking method, which enables the elimination of the influence of price changes.

 

In order to ensure comparability across the countries, data on GDP changes published by Eurostat are seasonally and working day adjusted.

 

In September 2014, revised methodological provisions of the European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA 2010 instead of ESA 1995) came into force, on the basis of which national accounts aggregates must be now produced and published. The time series of the main national accounts aggregates were revised from 2005; in 2015, earlier periods' time series will also be revised and published.
