QoQ: Quarter on Quarter = Means figures or data sets related to the change in data from one quarter to the next

To add to pipthepip's answer, when it means month on month, it normally refers to the month on month change. For example, if a retail sales report shows a figure of 1.5% for the month of June, it means that sales grew by 1.5% from May to June. The same is true for year on year figures - if the report shows growth of 1.5%, it means that retail sales grew by 1.5% from levels a year ago.
