CHANGES TO THIS PUBLICATION

The Australian Economic Indicators publication (cat. no. 1350.0) commenced in February 1991 to present key economic data in a compendium publication. With significant advances in technology since then, all of the information provided in this publication can now be obtained freely through the ABS Website, ABS data services or other websites. As a result, the Australian Economic Indicators publication will be discontinued, with the last issue published on 29 June 2012. Inquiries should be directed to Bill Allen on (02) 6252 7365 or <bill.allen@abs.gov.au>.


IN THIS ISSUE

Where available, the statistics in this issue are presented as time series for the last three years of annual data, the last nine quarters or 15 months of data. To assist analysis most tables include percentage movements, as well as levels, of series.

Quarterly and monthly data for most series, and annual data for a limited number of series, are available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics for earlier periods than that shown in this publication. Many series can be obtained on electronic media. Inquiries should be directed to the National Information Service on 1300 135 070 or <client.services@abs.gov.au>.
