International trade; Imports and exports of services by country, quarter

In the previously published data for 2022, the quarterly figures were reported correctly. However, an error occurred when calculating the total for the year, as the June data point was mistakenly used instead of the correct final quarterly figure. As a result, the quarterly figures did not add up to the published annual total. This error has now been corrected, ensuring that the published total aligns with the sum of the individual quarters.

The number of self-employed for the reporting years 2020 and 2022 has been corrected. The correction concerns a slight upward revision of the number of self-employed persons.
