Compare with
diesjährig vs jährlich
annual / yearly
“Jährlich” describes something that takes place once a year or applies for a period of one year. “Diesjährig,” by contrast, refers to the current year and denotes a specific current edition or item. When regular recurrence is meant, “jährlich” is appropriate; when something concerns this year, “diesjährig” is appropriate.
