Figures in round brackets represent quarterly percentage changes over the same period in the preceding year.
Figures in square brackets represent half-yearly percentage changes over the same period in the preceding year.
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 1989 are part of the revised preliminary estimate of expenditure on the gross domestic product, while those for 1988 are part of the revised provisional GDP estimate. These published annual data may not tally exactly with the summed totals of the quarterly data, which are generally more up-to-date.
