Changes in the salary agreements often take effect from the month of March. The new agreements, however, are often not publicly available until the second quarter. Thus, they are not included until the calculation of the second quarter. This might produce a slight discrepancy between when the agreement actually take effect and when this effect shows up in the development of the indices.
Figures on statistical errors are not available.
