Resources series have been rebased to 5 July 2002 = 3215, the first date that all of these

indices are published from. The base value is the value of the S&P/ASX 200 on that day

and corrects an inconsistency in the bases that were previously used.

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

Due to the many dif ferences in the structure of the housing sector in dif ferent

countr ies and in the way that housing is treated in their CPIs, a simple comparison

of All items (or headl ine) CPIs is often inappropr iate. To provide a better basis for

internat ional comparisons, the Fourteenth Internat ional Conference of Labour

Stat ist ic ians adopted a resolut ion which cal led for countr ies to “prov ide for

dissemination at the internat ional level of an index which excludes shelter, in

addit ion to the all- i tems index.” Table 10.8 presents indexes for selected countr ies

on a basis consistent with the above resolut ion and comparable to the Austral ian

series "Al l groups excluding housing and financial and insurance services." The series

in this table are presented on a reference base consistent with that used for

publicat ion of the Austral ian CPI (i.e. 1989–90 = 100.0) and as such are not

direct ly comparable with those for All items published in Table 10.7 (presented on a

reference base of 2005 = 100.0).

7 Series in this publication include original, seasonally adjusted and trend series.

Special care should always be taken in interpreting data for the most recent months and

quarters. Some of the original and all of the seasonally adjusted and trend series are

subject to revision.

8 It is not uncommon for movements in original time series data and those provided

from seasonally adjusted and trend series to differ significantly. Movements in a time

series of original data may reflect several factors, including:

! longer-term changes in the item being measured (i.e. trend movements)

! short-term irregular changes

! regular seasonal influences

! normal ‘trading’, ‘working’ or ‘pay’ day patterns

! systematic holiday effects.

Australian Economic Indicators. Readers are directed to the Explanatory Notes

contained in related ABS publications.

2 Australian Economic Indicators presents a statistical summary of the Australian

economy, together with international comparisons of selected economic indicators. It

also includes commentaries, articles and technical notes. Australian Economic

Indicators has been developed primarily as a reference document, providing a broad

basis for economic analysis and research.

3 The tables contain mainly ABS data, although data from other sources are included.

For ABS sourced data, the publication name and catalogue number are included in the

footnotes of the tables. If the data are from other sources, the source organisation’s

name is included in the footnotes.

13 The chain volume measures appearing in this publication are annually-reweighted

chain Laspeyres indexes referenced to the current price values in a chosen reference year

(i.e. the year when the quarterly chain volume measures sum to the current price annual

values). Chain Laspeyres volume measures are compiled by linking together

(compounding) movements in volumes, calculated using the average prices of the

previous financial year, and applying the compounded movements to the current price

estimates of the reference year. Quarterly chain volume estimates are benchmarked to

annual chain volume estimates, so that the quarterly estimates for a financial year sum to

the corresponding annual estimate.

14 Chain volume measures are not generally additive. In other words, in general,

component chain volume measures do not sum to a total in the way original current

price components do. In order to minimise the impact of this property, the ABS uses the

latest base year as the reference year (i.e. the year prior to the latest complete financial

year). By adopting this approach, non-additivity does not exist for the quarters following

the reference year (currently 2009-10) and is relatively small for the quarters in the

reference year and the quarters immediately preceding it. A new base year and the

reference year for volume measures are updated annually in the September quarter

Australian National Accounts (Australian Economic Indicators, January issue). In the

September quarter 2011 Australian National Accounts issue, the new reference year

became 2009–10 for volume estimates. This had two effects, first, a new base year,

2009–10, was introduced which has resulted in revisions to growth rates in subsequent

periods. Second, the volume estimates have been re-referenced to 2009–10 thus

preserving additivity in the quarters after the reference year. Re-referencing changes

levels but not growth rates, although some revision to recent growth rates can be

expected because of the introduction of a more recent base year (and revisions to the

current price estimates underlying the chain volume measures).

9 Seasonal adjustment and trend estimates help the user to identify the effect of these

influences on the time series. Seasonal adjustment removes the effect of the last three

listed influences from the data, leaving only the trend and short-term irregular

movements. Trend estimates are then obtained by removing the effects of the short-term

irregularities, which in many series can be a major contributor to movements in the

original data. By comparing the historical trend series with the seasonally adjusted series,

the user can identify the short-term irregularities which have influenced the original

series.

10 Trend estimates produced by the ABS are based on Henderson Moving Averages,

and are therefore subject to revision especially for the latest few months or quarters.

11 The general methods used in the ABS for making seasonal adjustments are

described in Information paper: An Introductory Course on Time Series Analysis -

Electronic Delivery ( cat. no. 1346.0.55.001). The method used to estimate trends is

described in Information Paper: A Guide to Interpreting Time Series - Monitoring Trends

( cat. no. 1349.0).

12 The ABS uses concurrent seasonal adjustment to derive the combined adjustment

factors. This means that data from the current month are used in estimating seasonal and

trading day factors for the current and previous months. Concurrent adjustment can

result in revisions each month to estimates for earlier periods. However, in most

instances, the only noticeable revisions will be to the combined adjustment factors for

the current month, the previous month and the same month a year ago. As a result of

the concurrent seasonal adjustment the trend estimates are also concurrently estimated.

Further information on concurrent seasonal adjustment can be found in Information

Paper: Introduction of Concurrent Seasonal Adjustment into the Retail Trade Series,

1999 ( cat. no. 8514.0).

15 Columns in bold in the tables indicate a total. Columns usually sum from the left,

with the total appearing on the right. A major exception is the balance of payments and

international investment position data in Chapter 2. These data sum from the right with

the total appearing on the left – in keeping with the international standard for these

statistics. Some tables include subtotal columns and columns which need to be

subtracted to obtain the total. Where this is not clear a footnote explains the relationship

between the columns.

16 Columns in italics indicate that seasonally adjusted or trend estimates are not

available for that column, and original data are provided instead.

17 Yearly periods shown as, e.g. 2009–10, refer to the fiscal year ended 30 June 2010.

18 Where figures have been rounded, discrepancies may occur between sums of the

component items and totals. Percentage changes may not be exactly comparable to

tabulated source series due to rounding of the source series, the percentage change

series or both.
