Status of the figures:
The figures in this table are provisional at the time of first publication. Upon the second publication in January/February following the financial year, last year’s figures will become definitive.
If there are any changes, these are the consequence of new or revised figures becoming available.

Changes as of 29 January 2024:
The provisional figures for 2024 have been added.
The figures for 2023 have become definitive.

When will new figures be published?
The new provisional figures will be made available in the months of January/February following the financial year. Figures will become definitive in the months of January/February following the financial year. The figures may be revised based on the availability of new or updated sources. In general the adjustments are limited in size and scope.
