How this page is made
The 2020 figure is the last period the publisher published that ends in 2020: the calendar year for an annual series, December for a monthly one, the financial year ending in March 2020 where that is how the series is published; the row names the period used. A rate stated in percent is compared in percentage points. Money is in cash terms unless the publisher adjusted it. A series that begins after 2020 is listed with its earliest comparable period rather than stretched back; a series with a methodology break between the two dates is not compared across it. Forecast periods are excluded.
