Comparison between Fiscal DMs Issued and Fiscal First Markings

The data used for the first SJR Monitoring Report (May 2008) utilised Fiscal First Markings Data. The figures used in this analysis used “Number Issued” These are two slightly different ways of extracting the data. As you can see whilst the specific figures month per month may differ the overall trends are the same regardless of which counting method deployed.
