    The statistics in full detail on an annual basis are published approx. 10 months after the reference year.

    According to practice the data of the months of the previous year are locked by late September. Simultaneously the data of the preceding year are revised and locked again. The final revision is coincident with the final national account compilation three years after the reference year. The final results are published in October.
