In addition to their regular forecasts, country panellists were asked to provide forecasts for individual quarters covering the period until the second quarter of 2013. Figures in normal type are official, published data with consensus forecasts - based on the averages of our panels' forecasts-shown in bold italics. Unless stated otherwise, all definitions correspond to those used on the individual country pages. As indicated, normal text numbers are percentage changes over the same quarter of the previous year; italics denote implied changes overthe previous quarter (not annualised). Readers should note thatthe four quarterly consensus forecasts covering a year may not equate to the annual consensus forecast shown for that same variable on pages 4-24, since the groups of survey respondents may be different, or because of rounding.
