German term or phrase: am aktuellen Rand
Sentence:
Positive Signale für die Binnenkonjunktur kommen **am aktuellen Rand** allerdings erfreulicherweise von Seiten der XX-Industrie.

I am a bit puzzled by 'Rand'. Is this mean to refer to the end of the last quarter or half-year, i.e. the last period for which reliable figures are available? And if so, to which period? Would be grateful for any insights.

TIA
Karin
