Note: Industrial output figures above are based on monthly statistical reporting. Because of differences in coverage, monthly cumulative figures for 1998 as a whole differ slightly from reported annual figures for some countries. For these countries reported annual figures have been used. On regional aggregates see the note to table 2.3.1.

a Reported quarterly GDP figures for Russia are volume indices of the gross output in industry, agriculture, construction, transport and retail trade which covers about 70 per cent of total output at basic prices.
