In preparing economic development plans, information about economic developments in a relatively short period of time is often needed. The information in question can be obtained through a study of quarterly GRDP data and indicators. In addition to planning, quarterly GRDP can also be used to prepare econometric models to observe short-term or seasonal economic fluctuations.
