CHANGES TO THIS ISSUE
There are no significant changes in this issue.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
There were no significant privatisations impacting the aggregates this quarter.
REVISIONS IN THIS ISSUE
There have been revisions back to December quarter 2005 to previously published aggregates due to:
- quality assurance work undertaken with data providers to ABS Survey of Financial Information, ABS Survey of International Investment and APRA administration data sets.
- revisions to data sources and methods used in the compilation of the listed and unlisted equity markets have resulted in some significant revisions to the estimated values in these markets.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF FUTURE FUND
During the June quarter, the Future Fund commenced investment activity. The Future Fund is a National General Government (NGG) unit and thus the investment activity and associated holdings of assets are recorded as part of the NGG sector. In order to maximise the availability of information about the activities of the NGG sector, ABS legislation allows the publication of identifiable information about this sector except where a request for confidentiality has been received from the relevant Minister. A request has been received and the relevant estimates have been confidentialised in this publication. The estimates will remain confidential in all future releases published up to and including 30 June 2008. As a consequence of suppressing estimates concerning the Future Fund's investment activity, it has been necessary to consequentially suppress other series in the affected tables to preserve confidentiality.
