The entire data series of GDP has been revised following the completion of a technical exercise by the Census and Statistics Department in September 2012 to incorporate the latest international statistical standards as stipulated in the United Nations' System of National Accounts 2008 in the GDP compilation framework of Hong Kong.
Trade in goods and services statistics are compiled based on the recommendations made in the System of National Accounts 2008, except the one on adopting the change of ownership principle in recording goods sent abroad for processing and merchanting.
As an interim arrangement, another set of trade in goods and services statistics, compiled based on the System of National Accounts 2008 including the aforesaid change of ownership principle is published in the supplementary tables of the Gross Domestic Product report for reference. For details about the concepts, definitions and related compilation methods of the change of ownership principle, please refer to the Special Report on Gross Domestic Product published in September 2012.
