Sorry Not to get back to you al sooner. Bit off a rush. Thanks for this.
philgoddard Oct 19, 2023:
So maybe it simply means "last month".
Isabelle Johnson (asker) Oct 18, 2023:
Hello Yes, it's a monthy sales review for packaged consumer goods. It crops up twice, both in the same way. I haven't been able to find anything online.

Apparently an annual review.

juxtaposed (with a comparable, period-review) figure

To start the ball rolling, whilst the Discussion Entrants / Intrants think about posting their ideas as juxtaposable alternatives.

The tone of the Italian strikes me as journalistic Italo-English, so a translation could prefix the contro- at an earlier stage: ... non progredisce più rispetto alle controcifre : ... is stagnant / is at a standstill / when juxtaposed with comparable figures for the period.

Example sentence:

Download scientific diagram | Juxtaposed figures of resistance and change from Wallbreakers and Maurer. from publication:

In addition, the subsidies shown for the reporting year shall in addition be juxtaposed with comparable figures from the two immediately preceding fiscal years, ...
