External Trade of the Czech Republic

Notes on the way of publishing results of external trade statistics

Starting from the September 2003 data, the Czech Statistical Office changed the way of updating monthly results from monthly-based to quarterly-based. That means that monthly data will remain constant in the course of the quarter.

Updated data for the whole period from the beginning of the year will be published together with preliminary data for the first month of the following quarter, i.e. updates will come out in June (1st quarter), September (1st–2nd quarters), December (1st–3rd quarters), and March (1st–4th quarters). Updated and final data for the preceding year will be published together with updates for the 1st quarter (i.e. in June) and the 1st-2nd quarters (in September), respectively.

The following notes apply to all tables in this publication – „External Trade of the Czech Republic in January - July 2005“:

2004 data for January to December are final, referring to 26 August 2005 closing date.

2005 data for January to June are updated, referring to 26 August 2005 closing date,
for July are preliminary, referring to 26 August 2005 closing date
for August are preliminary, referring to 29 September 2005 closing date.

Casual differences on the last digit position arise for rounding off the absolute number.
