This catalog preserves stored source periods and status codes, but complete publisher flags, original release times and country-specific methods have not all been reviewed. These are current stored readings and may be revised.
Quarterly GDP can use quarter-on-quarter, year-on-year or annualized growth rates. Verify the selected country’s source method before comparing figures; this viewer applies no annualization or growth conversion.

Source and interpretation
Source: OECD.
Licence: OECD Data Terms. Reuse remains subject to this source’s terms.
The period and stored status columns reproduce this catalog’s source fields. An empty status means no stored flag, not a guarantee that the publisher supplied none. U-marked numeric readings are withheld; B-marked readings interrupt chart continuity. Other codes require the source’s own guidance. This viewer does not establish original release dates, complete revision history or comparable national methods.
