Quarter

A Quarter is simply a quarter of a year, or three months. It is widely used as a reporting period for financial and economic data, as it allows trends to be seen more easily - it tends to average out 'freak' figures from weekly or monthly results, yet it provides more up-to-date information than yearly figures.
