Notes: Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.

GNP is obtained by adding net external factor income flows to GDP of the same year. In line with the latest major revision of GDP data series, GNP and related figures presented in this table have been revised and hence may be different from those presented in earlier editions.

(1) Owing to rebasing of GDP and GNP at constant prices to year 2000, there are slight discrepancies between figures on GNP at constant market prices and the sum of figures on GDP at constant market prices and net external factor income flows for reference periods before the base year of 2000.
