APPENDIX - INDEX STRUCTURES & WEIGHTING PATTERNS


COMPOSITION

Both the Import Price Index and the Export Price Index have been reweighted in the September quarter 2003. This is in line with the ABS' plan to reweight these indexes annually each September quarter, as explained in paragraphs 8 - 10 of the explanatory notes. The new weighting patterns for both the Import Price Index and Export Price Index, based on the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) (Revision 3), are presented in this Appendix. Corresponding new weighting patterns based on classification by Broad Economic Categories (BEC), Harmonized Tariff Item Statistical Classification (HTISC) and Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) for the Import Price Index and Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) and ANZSIC for the Export Price Index are available on request.
