The Macro-Economic Quarterly includes data on National Accounts, Balance of Payments and Foreign Trade.
Original data: For most of the series the bulletin presents quarterly and annual data. For the series in chapter "Foreign Trade" monthly and annual data are presented.
Seasonally adjusted data are calculated by adjusting the original data for the influence of seasonality and festival and trading days. The seasonally adjusted data are estimated using the X-12-ARIMA seasonal adjustment method that was developed by the U.S. Census Bureau, and by a procedure developed at the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) for the simultaneous estimation of the moving Jewish festival dates and the number of trading days effects in Israel.
Trend data are estimated by removing the irregular influences (noise) from the seasonally adjusted data.
Seasonally adjusted and trend data are subject to revisions since they are calculated anew, each month or quarter.
