Output of the national economy fell in April

Corrected on 17 June 2020. The correction is indicated in red.

Adjusted for working days, output fell by 7.9 per cent in April 2020 from one year back. Seasonally adjusted output in turn went down by 2.1 per cent in April from the month before. According to revised data, working day adjusted output fell in March 2020 by 5.7 per cent (previously -2.7 per cent) from March 2019. The revisions arise from the benchmarking of the data of the Trend Indicator of Output with the Quarterly National Accounts data released on 29 May 2020.

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.
