Overview of sources and methods for quarterly gross domestic product: Updates and COVID-19 adjustments – methods release
Overview of sources and methods for quarterly gross domestic product: Updates and COVID-19 adjustments provides an overview of changes to our usual quarterly GDP methods, including alternative data sources and methods we are using to measure the effects of COVID-19 in New Zealand.
Note: We intend to update information for the September 2021 quarter gross domestic product (GDP) in the Excel spreadsheet on 10 December 2021.
The spreadsheet compares quarter-by-quarter changes to data sources and methods we use to compile quarterly GDP. It shows specific changes over time to methods used in COVID-19-affected quarters, and methods used for the latest published quarter.
We will update it each quarter to provide an ongoing record of these changes.
