Real GDP changes have been estimated using a chain-linking method which enables the elimination of the influence of price changes.

Values of and changes in GDP and its components depend on the different seasons of the year; therefore, changes used for the comparison of GDP and its components for different periods are seasonally and calendar adjusted.
