Notes:
()
Figures in brackets represent percentage changes over the same period in the preceding year.
The quarterly 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 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 1988 are part of the revised preliminary estimate of expenditure on the gross domestic product, while those for 1987 are part of the revised provisional GDP estimate. These published annual data may not tally exactly with the
corresponding summed totals from the quarterly data, which are more up-to-date.
