Methodological notes on the chart
Due to conceptual and definitional differences, the results from 1950 to 1970 (former territory of the Federal Republic) are not fully comparable with the results from 1970 to 1991 (former territory of the Federal Republic) and those as from 1991 (Germany). The price-adjusted results for the period from 1950 to 1970 (former territory of the Federal Republic) have been calculated in prices of 1991. The results for the period from 1970 to 1991 (former territory of the Federal Republic) and the data as from 1991 (Germany) are shown as a chain-linked indeces. In the 2019 national accounts revision, the results for Germany were recalculated only back to 1991 and the data before 1991 remained unchanged.
