CHANGES TO THIS ISSUE
  • Each September quarter, the reference and base year for chain volume estimates for the Survey of Private New Capital Expenditure are updated. A new base year, 2013-14, has been introduced into the chain volume estimates which has resulted in minor revisions to growth rates in subsequent periods. In addition, the chain volume estimates have been re-referenced to 2013-14. Additivity is preserved in the quarters of the reference year and subsequent quarters. Re-referencing affects the level of, but not the movements in, chain volume estimates.
  • As happens each year, a seasonal review has been undertaken based on estimates up to and including the June quarter 2015. This review has not resulted in noteworthy revisions to estimates up to and including June quarter 2015. There are no noteworthy revisions to previous estimates.
