Industry of the Czech Republic - Revised Figures

The principal goal of short-term statistics is to provide the timeliest information on changes in basic indicators or to record principal changes occurring in the industry as early as possible. Of course, to meet such a goal is at some variance with getting completeness and absolute correctness of the data obtained monthly. For this reason the Czech Statistical Office, in accordance with the valid policy of revisions, total revision of the indicators published monthly is carried out once a year after finishing the particular monthly data processing.

The 2006 data revision, published in this publication, consists particularly in application of the definitive price indices while deflating the indicators converted into constant prices (i.e. sales in constant prices), and completion or correction of the data obtained from respondents in monthly frequency including the changes in enterprises which have changed their principal activity. Even the data obtained from surveys with longer frequency can be used.

In accordance with the valid revision policy of the CZSO, the data published in this publication are considered to be semi definitive. In the event that the CZSO does not publish the revisions that can emerge for example from the results of annual surveys within one year from the publishing, the data are regarded as definitive.
