Year	January	February	March	April	May	June	July	August	September	October	November	December
1: Due to the discontinuity principle at the end of the 20th legislative period, updated time series values from December 2023 to March 2024. Among other things, this principle means that all proposals not passed by the former Bundestag must be reintroduced and renegotiated. The laws concerned were, therefore, removed from the administrative burden index. . = Numerical value unknown.
