The revisions are usually driven by new or improved data that affect historical results, or changes to the underlying measure. The key revisions are discussed below. More up to date balanced output data Every year, before the release of September quarter GDP statistics, we reconcile quarterly constant price series to new annual national accounts data that have been through the process of supply-use balancing. We now have a comprehensive view of the economy and goods and services flows up to the March 2018 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 2018 and National accounts (income and expenditure): Year ended March 2019, both published on 21 November 2019. Revisions in data sources Updates in data sources have also led to revisions to the previously published productivity series. These included: • 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-price and constant-price productive capital stock data, feeding into the capital input series; revisions to the productive capital stock arose from revisions to GFKF by industry introduced in the latest annual national accounts release • revised labour data, feeding into the labour volume series. en-NZ
