Revised estimates of GDP and its components for earlier periods are also released today. The real growth rate of GDP for 1993 was revised from 6.4% to 6.1% while that for 1994 remained unchanged at 5.4%. The growth rates for the first two quarters of 1995 were revised upwards from 5.9% to 6.1%, and from 4.8% to 5.2%.
This revision was mainly attributable to revised data on the price deflator for some construction output components and the inclusion of more up-to-date data on government consumption expenditure for these two quarters.
Summaries of the latest GDP figures are presented in Tables 1 and 2.
More detailed quarterly estimates of GDP from the first quarter of 1993 to the third quarter of 1995 are published in a report entitled "Quarterly Estimates of Gross Domestic Product 3rd Quarter 1995".
