REVISIONS IN THIS ISSUE
Revisions have been made to a number of aggregates. The net effect of these revisions has left growth in the seasonally adjusted volume measure of GDP in March quarter 2007 unchanged. The revisions to component series reflect normal quarterly revisions due to incorporation of more up-to-date source data and the impact of concurrent seasonal adjustment.
CHANGES NEXT ISSUE
A new reference year for volume measures is typically updated annually in the June quarter issue. From 2007 onwards the reference year will be updated in the September quarter issue each year. In the September quarter 2007 issue, the new reference year will be 2005-06 for volume estimates. This will have two effects, first, a new base year, 2005-06, will be introduced which will result in revisions to growth rates in subsequent periods. Second, the volume estimates will be re-referenced to 2005-06 thus preserving additivity in the quarters after the reference year. Re-referencing affects the levels of, but not the movements in, volume estimates.
The September quarter 2007 release will also contain revisions to many series as a result of benchmarking quarterly series to updated annual benchmarks from the annual supply and use tables. These annual benchmarks will be released in Australian System of National Accounts, 2006-07 (cat. no. 5204.0) on 7 November 2007.
