According to provisional results of the Federal Statistical Office, the turnover achieved by wholesale trade in Germany in April 2006 increased 0.8 percent in nominal terms and decreased 1.6 percent in real terms compared with the corresponding month of the previous year.
Calendar effects presumably played a role here, since this year the Easter holidays were in April, while in 2005 they were in March.
When adjusted for calendar and seasonal variations (Berlin Method 4.1 - BV 4.1), the April 2006 turnover was in nominal terms 1.9 percent and in real terms 1.8 percent larger than that in the preceding month.
Compared with the previous year, turnover in wholesale trade increased 5.7 percent in nominal terms and 3.0 percent in real terms in the first four months of 2006.
