Output of the national economy grew in April 2014

Seasonally adjusted output grew by 0.8 per cent in April from the month before. Adjusted for working days, output increased by 1.2 per cent from the level of the previous year. April 2014 had one working day more than April 2013. Unadjusted for working days, the original series was 1.0 per cent lower than in the year before. According to revised data, working-day adjusted output decreased in March by 1.1 per cent (previously -2.0 per cent) from March 2013. The revision was caused by the benchmarking of the data to quarterly accounts.

The series of the Trend Indicator of Output are seasonally adjusted with the Tramo/Seats method. The latest observations of the series adjusted for seasonal and random variation (seasonally adjusted and trend series) become revised with new observations in seasonal adjustment methods. Revisions especially at turning points of economic trends may be significant, which should be taken into consideration when using seasonally adjusted and trend data.
