Showing 10 of 125 tenures.
Sorted by total, highest first. Every row is indexed to the last quarter
complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it);
the European Union is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates.
Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out.
