In the report, the real growth rates are measured as the rate of change on QGDP for current year as compared to the QGDP for the previous year. For example, the real growth rate for the first QGDP for the year 2001 is compared to the first QGDP for the year 2000. However, in measuring the rate of growth due to seasonality effects, the change has been measured between the adjacent quarters in the same year.
