Seasonally adjusted figures are estimated and hence subject to some uncertainty. Therefore, minor changes from one period to another affecting the last digit of the figures in this Series do not necessarily allow conclusions to be drawn as to economically relevant changes. The series are normally accurate enough to enable the reader to infer the mostly rounded rates of change given in the Bundesbank’s analyses. The factors used for seasonal adjustment are recalculated at regular intervals and as required. Revised time series or tables are marked with an (R). The seasonal adjustment also includes adjustment for working-day variations, insofar as such variations can be proved and quantified (see also the explanatory notes, section on seasonal adjustment).
