Interpretation of seasonally-adjusted figuresIn order to facilitate the interpretation of the short-term development, the index of production publishes three-month moving averages of the seasonally-adjusted figures. We normally compare the latest non-overlapping three-month periods, for instance April to June 2011 compared with January to March 2011. Seasonally-adjusted monthly changes must be interpreted with caution. Response rateThe response rate in the survey for June 2011 is somewhat lower than normal due to vacation in the Norwegian enterprises. |
