Dashboard on preliminary quarterly GDP numbers

Last Updated:

The Quarterly GDP Flash Report is an economic indicator that publishes GDP performance on a quarterly basis and is used for economic decisions and other purposes. Digital Agency is working with Cabinet Office to set up a dashboard to make this quarterly GDP flash report easier to understand and use.

The background information on GDP (such as series classifications, seasonal adjustment, and the relationship among real, nominal, and deflator) is summarized in "Background Information to Read and Understand the GDP Dashboard, ."

We are conducting a survey to improve and enhance this dashboard. Please use the form below to give us your opinions.

You can see long-term trends for each demand item, as well as specific time periods (for example, when the economic event you want to see affects).

For this reason, it should be noted that emphasis based on" "comparison using the latest quarter's figures" "does not represent the strict magnitude relationship including figures after the first decimal place."

Change from the previous year

The time series trend of GDP and its breakdown (demand items) from the previous quarter is displayed as a heat map.

  • *Year-on-year changes in private and public inventories are not calculated because the actual figures could be zero.
  • *This heat map is automatically colored so that the color becomes the most intense when it is above + 5% or below -5%.

Trends in contributions

It shows a heat map of GDP and its breakdown (demand items) and time-series trends in the contribution of domestic and external demand.
It is possible to see whether a particular demand item has made a large contribution to the rise or fall of GDP, or whether all demand items have made an overall contribution in the same direction.
