Supplementary notes
A diffusion index reflects entrepreneurs’ judgment on the profitability of the firms compared with the previous quarter. The index is derived by calculating the proportions of entrepreneurs who considered “profits increased or losses reduced” and that “both profits and losses remained unchanged”, assigning weights 1 and 0.5 to them respectively, and adding up the multiplication results.
Figures in this statistic were rounded to one decimal place. Possible discrepancies between year-on-year or quarter-on-quarter changes calculated from the figures and those published in the report were mainly due to rounding.
