Data of international tables refer to all the countries of the European Union and United Kingdom in the case of annual data, as well as other countries of importance in a given topic. Tables including interim data refer to the members of the European Union, the EU27_2020 average, the Euro-zone as well as to the United States of America and Japan, except for table 20.2.3.1., entitled Unemployment rate of population aged 15–64, which does not report data for the United States and Japan because of limits of comparability. Interim data on Hungary are published in line with the internationally harmonized methodology.
The annual tables are generally contain data from 2000.
Interim tables mainly include monthly data, except for the following tables containing quarterly data:
20.2.3.1. Unemployment rate of population aged 15–64 querterly
21.2.3.1. Volume index of gross domestic product quarterly
21.2.3.2. Volume index of final consumption expenditure of households quarterly

1.1.3.1..; 1.2.3.1.
Data on member states of the European Union, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey are harmonised indices of consumer price (HICP), while for the other countries changes of consumer prices are calculated according to national definitions.
Harmonised indices of consumer prices (HICP) are calculated for international comparisons across member states of the European Union. A national consumer price index and the harmonised index of consumer prices provide similar but not perfectly identical results, for which there are two methodological reasons. On the one hand the coverage of the two indicators is different (e.g. the harmonised index does not include games of chance), on the other hand the consumption of foreigners arriving in the country is either taken into consideration (in case of the harmonised index) or omitted, which leads to differences in weighting.

People living in households with very low work intensity: People living in households with very low work intensity are people living in households where the members of working age (18-59 year-old) work less than 20% of their total work potential during the previous year. (value: 0–0.2)
People at risk of poverty or social exclusion: Share of people within the total population who are affected by one or more of the problems of at-risk-of-poverty, severe material deprivation or living in households with very low work intensity.
Poverty or social exclusion have been widely used terms in Europe since the Treaty of Nice. Fight against poverty is one of the most important challenges the European Union is facing. Basic objectives related to this issue were formulated by the Council of Europe in the Europe 2020 Strategy (in the context of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth) in 2010. According to this, EU Member States pledged to bring at least 20 million people out of poverty and social exclusion by 2020.
Data on poverty and social exclusion are collected according to Regulation (EU) 2019/1700 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 10 October 2019 establishing a common framework for European statistics relating to persons and households, based on data at individual level collected from samples and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/258, which regulate the EU-SILC survey from 2021on. On an annual basis an additional modul with a changing topic will be included in the EU-SILC survey. In Hungary, following this regulation data are collected by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office and transmitted to the Eurostat. Indicators published by HCSO are considered as preliminary until they are validated by Eurostat.

Primary energy consumption: refers only to traded primary energy sources. Wind-power, geothermal and solar energy are excluded.

It therefore reflects the necessary energy to satisfy inland consumption within the borders of national territory.
In other countries the notion of primary energy comprises commercially traded fuels, including modern renewable energy used to generate electricity.
