Output of the national economy rose in January

Seasonally adjusted output increased by 0.2 per cent in January from the month before. Adjusted for working days, output was 1.0 per cent higher than one year before. According to revised data, working-day adjusted output increased in December by 1.9 per cent (was +0.6) from January 2015. The revision is caused by the benchmarking of the data to quarterly accounts.

Revisions especially at turning points of economic trends may be significant, which should be taken into consideration when using seasonally adjusted and trend data.
