Output of the national economy grew in October year-on-year, slight drop from the previous month

Seasonally adjusted output fell by 0.4 per cent in October 2017 from the month before. Adjusted for working days, output was 2.6 per cent higher than one year before. According to revised data, working-day adjusted output increased in September 2017 by 3.4 per cent (previously 3.8 per cent) from last year's September. The revision was caused by the benchmarking of the data to quarterly accounts.

Volume of total output 2005 to 2017, trend and seasonally adjusted series

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.

Working day adjusted primary production increased by two per cent from the year before. Secondary production rose by five per cent and services by nearly two per cent from October 2016.
