Description
The aim of the flash estimate of GDP is to produce the first preliminary picture of domestic output in a quarter. The flash estimate supports the information basis for the quarterly flash estimate of GDP for the EU/Eurozone and at the same time gives the possibility to examine economic development in Finland against corresponding trend data on the EU/Eurozone.

Data collection methods and data sources
In order to meet the deadline set for the Flash estimate on GDP of the European Union, the monthly data on the total output for the last month of a quarter are produced exceptionally fast in 45 days by utilising source statistics. Thus, Finland’s Flash estimate of GDP is fully based on the data of the Monthly Indicator of Total Output. The data for a quarter are calculated by summing up monthly observations for three months.
