WIFO has been calculating the official quarterly national accounts for Austria for many years. 30 days after the end of a quarter, a flash estimate based on a rudimentary data set is published on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Finance. These data are already transmitted to Eurostat, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Statistics Austria and the Federal Ministry of Finance the day before. Quarterly data is subjected to revision for the most recent year for which official annual data is not yet published by Statistics Austria. 60 days after the end of a quarter, the results of the more comprehensive regular quarterly national accounts are then published on behalf of Statistics Austria. The day before publication, data are transmitted to Statistics Austria and the Oesterreichische Nationalbank.
Twice a year, WIFO calculates Flash Estimates concerning the development of the federal provinces' real gross value added
on behalf of the City of Vienna. In December estimates are made for the first half of the year, in May for the past year.
Statistics Austria publishes more detailed annual data for the past year in December.
