This is by design.

Regulations vary by country, but Europe and Australia require speedos to be accurate to +10% plus 4km/h but never below actual speed. US has a similar, but more complex standard that covers the allowed range. To comply with the regulations, they typically indicate 1%-2% high.
is the odometer effected too?
