The GDP 3-Month Average provides a smoothed representation of economic growth by averaging the Gross Domestic Product growth rates over three consecutive months. This indicator is particularly useful for identifying underlying economic trends while filtering out the volatility often found in single-month data releases. It serves as a key metric for policymakers and investors to gauge the short-term momentum of the economy. A rising average suggests strengthening economic activity, while a declining trend may signal a slowdown.
The indicator is calculated as the rolling arithmetic mean of the month-on-month GDP growth rates for the most recent three-month period.
