    If you haven’t read the article, it’s 0,3% vs. a projected 0,2%. IMHO hardly worth a headline. But hey…

      This is compared to Q1 of this year. So we are talking annualized 1.2% growth vs 0.8%.

      What? The chart says GDP growth 1st Q 0,8% and 2nd Q 1 %.

      It’s also in the text:

      Year on year, GDP increased by 1%, revised up from a preliminary estimate of 0.9% and up from a 0.8% in the first quarter.

      You are using month by month numbers and generally you never use that, because they are useless because of seasonal changes.
