Glossary:Second release
The second release is the second official real-time release of an economic indicator of interest for the most recent reference period. It concerns the release of generally hard data that are subject to possible further revisions but are produced using the same methodology of aggregation and construction as regular estimates.
This release updates information first published in the flash or first estimate by using a higher coverage of the sub-aggregates. It includes more detailed output data than the flash or first estimate. The role of hard data must be dominant.
