The revisions are usually driven by new or improved data that affect historical results, or changes to the underlying measure – in both cases we aim to better represent the real-life situation of a changing society, economy, and environment. The key revisions are discussed below. More up to date balanced output data Every year, before the release of September quarter GDP statistics, Stats NZ updates its quarterly GDP series following the inclusion of new annual benchmarks in calculations. We now have a comprehensive view of the economy and goods and services flows up to the March 2017 year. This sees our national accounts statistics reflect a more up-to-date structure of the economy. The new annual data comes from National accounts (industry production and investment): Year ended March 2017 and National accounts (income and expenditure): Year ended March 2018, both released on 23 November 2018. Other Revisions Updates in data sources have also led to revisions to the previously published productivity series. Please refer to tables 1.07, 1.08, 2.07, and 2.08 in the downloadable Excel spreadsheets for the magnitude and direction of these revisions. Regular revisions (due to updates in data sources) arose from the following: revised constant-price GDP data, feeding into the output series. revised current-price national accounts data, feeding into the industry income-based weights. revised current- and constant-price productive capital stock data, feeding into the capital input series. revised labour data, feeding into the labour volume series. Due to the amount of provisional data used in productivity calculation for the most recent years, data for the last two years of the series are provisional. en-NZ
