Average growth between Quarter 2 2009 (the low point after the 2008 economic downturn) and Quarter 4 2019 (the highpoint before the coronavirus pandemic) is used as the trend as this is a long enough period to establish a trend line. Productivity growth has been consistently slower since the 2008 economic downturn, so using trend growth from earlier years would be unsuitable."
