CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE

REVISIONS TO THE IMPORT PRICE INDEX

The June quarter 2018 Balance of Payments estimates have been affected by revisions published in the June quarter 2018 release of International Trade Price Indexes, Australia (cat. no. 6457.0). Telecommunications equipment volumes in this publication will be impacted as well as volumes published in the Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product, June 2018 (cat. no. 5206.0) which will be released on 5 September 2018.


CHANGES IN FORTHCOMING ISSUES

ANNUAL SEASONAL RE-ANALYSIS

The seasonally adjusted and trend estimates of goods, services, primary income and secondary income will be revised in the September quarter 2018 issue of this publication as a result of the annual seasonal re-analysis. This re-analysis reviews the seasonal and trading day factors in more detail than is possible in the quarterly processing cycle and assesses the appropriateness of any prior corrections.


NEW BASE YEAR AND RE-REFERENCING OF CHAIN VOLUME ESTIMATES AND IMPLICIT PRICE DEFLATORS

A new base year 2016-17 will be introduced into chain volume estimates and implicit price deflators in the September quarter 2018 issue. As a result, the chain volume estimate series and implicit price deflators series will be re-referenced to 2016-17.
