National Accounts

National Accounts Statistics 
New Base-Year Prices, 2000-01 = 100


The Statistics Department produces estimates of GDP at the end of March or April of each year.  These GDP estimates are revised annually when new information becomes available to the Department or when production figures are firmed up for some industries.

The GDP estimates in this Bulletin (National Accounts Statistics Year 2004) use the new base period (2000-01) for constant prices based on the results of Household Income and Expenditure Survey 2000 - 01. The previous GDP series in constant prices up to the year 2000-01 were based on 1995-96 prices, which have become outdated. This bulletin has been extended to include the use of Balance of Payments in National Accounts, the Expenditure on GDP and National Income and Outlay accounts.
