This collapse exceeds the losses in the second quarter of 1995 (-8.6%) and the same period in 2009 (-7.7 percent).

The vast majority of economic series are affected by seasonal factors, these are periodic effects that are repeated every year and whose causes can be considered unrelated to the economic nature of the series, such as holidays, the fact that some months have more days than others, the periods of school vacations, the effect of the weather in the different seasons of the year, and other seasonal fluctuations such as, for example, the high production of toys in the months before Christmas caused by the expectation of higher sales in December.

In this sense, the deseasonalization or seasonal adjustment of economic series consists of removing these periodic intra-annual influences, since their presence makes it difficult to diagnose or describe the behavior of a series by not being able to adequately compare a given quarter with the immediately previous one.
