Notes:
The quarterly data are preliminary estimates taken from the quarterly estimates of the gross domestic product compiled by the Census & Statistics Department. The estimates are subject to subsequent revisions, and are restricted to internal reference only.
The annual data can, nevertheless, be quoted freely. The figures for 1986 are part of the preliminary estimate of expenditure on the gross domestic product, while those for 1985 are part of the provisional GDP estimate.
