    Historical data series are available in Statistics > Interactive Database.

    In order to view or download certain data series, please follow the next steps:

    1. Select the desired indicators from the tree menu (the groups may be enlarged by clicking on ).
    2. Press the "Generate statistics" button for the items you are interested in; a table containing the latest figures for the concerned series will be displayed on screen.

  • Error while exporting statistical data in Excel 

    Sometimes the name of the xls file generated by the exporting facility included in the Interactive database is quite long. The full path length of the Microsoft Excel document cannot be longer than 218 characters (the path includes the drive letter or server name, and all characters and folder names up to and including the name of the document). To correct this error save the file in a location that has fewer nested folders, for example on your Desktop.
