NEW PUBLICATION DESIGN - AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ACCOUNTS : State Accounts Australia, (Cat. no. 5220.0)


In the June quarter 2003 release of Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (cat.no. 5206.0) the ABS indicated its intention to make changes in the format of the next 5206.0 publication to be released on December 3, 2003. This publication has been prepared and is avilable to users.

Concurrently, Australian National Accounts: State Accounts Australia, (Cat. no. 5220.0) has been reformatted and the Ausstats tables and PDF file is now available via the national accounts theme page under the heading "New design of 5206.0, 5220.0 and 5204.0". To get to the theme page go to the ABS website and select: Themes => Economy=> National Accounts. A concordance between the old and new tables has also been developed and can also be accessed on the national accounts theme page.

The changes to 5220.0 can be viewed in the "5220.0 Table concordance document" document located in the above document on the ABS Website.

The changes to Australian System of National Accounts (Cat. no. 5204.0) are expected to be released shortly.

The data in the reformatted tables are sourced from the 2001-02 release of 5220.0. There are no updated series in this publication and this publication does not represent a revised or updated release of national accounts data. The 2001-02 datas set has been included so that users are able to verify whether they are appropriately accessing series which are now being presented in different tables or in a changed location within a table. Where new series are to be introduced these have been given a value of '999' to clearly indicate where data will be located in the new presentation.

If you have any problems accessing the new publication or you have any questions regarding the changes please contact Jim Dentrinos on 02 6252 7117 or by email j.dentrinos@abs.gov.au.
