Notes:
The quarterly and half-yearly data are preliminary estimates taken from the quarterly estimates of the gross domestic product compiled by the Census & Statistics Department. These estimates are subject to subsequent revisions. They are restricted to internal reference only and should not be quoted publicly.
The annual data may, nevertheless, be quoted freely. The figures for 1986 are part of the revised preliminary estimate of expenditure on the gross domestic product, while those for 1985 are part of the revised provisional GDP estimate.
