Yes, and that is correct. That is the point of using average aggregation
operator, the value is the same at whatever time/month during that year. The
use of annualisation for indicators helps to make the monthly indicator
value more usable (multiplies the numerator by 12 and hence creates a
monthly estimate of the annual denominator value).
