Period-specific information: Year ended March 2013

Period-specific information There are some conceptual differences between the input-output tables for the years ended March 2007 and 2013. The former are based on the 1993 version of the international System of National Accounts (SNA). The latter are based on the updated 2008 version of the SNA, which better reflects the modern economy. Earlier publications of input-output tables are not revised to incorporate conceptual changes or data revisions. One of the key SNA changes is the capitalisation of research and development expenditure. More information on the conceptual changes we introduced is available in the National accounts (industry benchmarks): Year ended March 2012 release. The treatment for financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) is now fully aligned with the annual national accounts in the input-output tables for the year ended 2013. In the input-output tables for the year ended 2007 and prior, the financial service charge was allocated to use categories based on interest flows. The new measurement of FISIM was introduced in the annual national accounts release in November 2012. en-NZ
