In the beginning of 2016, growth of the Czech economy continued. According to the preliminary estimate, the gross domestic product (GDP) adjusted for price effects and seasonally adjusted[1] increased in the Q1 2016 by 3.1%, year-on-year; compared to the Q4 2015 it increased by 0.5%.
The GDP growth was pulled by all components of the demand: by steadily growing consumption of households, slightly increasing investment activity, as well as external trade.
On the labour market, there was a significant improvement in the Q1 2016. Employment in terms of national accounts increased by 1.9%, y-o-y, and by 1.5% in the q-o-q comparison.

More detailed information about the revision can be found in the article Change of approach to the GDP seasonal adjustment which will be published in the May issue of the Statistika&My journal.
