This could be a data error. I would want to wait a couple of months to see if this data point stands up. It just seems like too big of an outlier.

Destatis figures are usually quite solid, as are monthly figures published my most other European countries. Exceptions I noticed: Switzerland (monthly figures for 2022, available until November, do not fit the total figure for 2022), and Scotland (always ignore the most recent month).

I have concerns as well, but so far the Destatis data moved little after the initial release. February figures are announced for May 9; then we will know more.

Nice work. So glad someone is doing this.

I'll send you a data package with FOI request results from GB. Hope you are up to it. Otherwise just ignore the email.
