Explanation:
It's sometimes called "year over year". You also find it hyphenated sometimes: y-o-y. However, "YoY" is probably most common.

agree  Björn Vrooman: Hope you're well. Often, all caps: http://www.investopedia.com/terms/y/year-over-year.asp Comprehensive list @ asker: http://www.imsresultscount.com/Files/KeyRetailTerms.pdf // Not sure. Think people just can't agree on whether to capitalize prepositions.

  -> Fine, thanks, Björn, but very busy. / Depends where you look. Both are common, and so is all l.c. (yoy), which the FT uses in text (also YoY). OECD docs have YoY, which many companies use too. Maybe all caps is to be recommended. US/UK difference?
