CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE

IMPROVEMENT TO SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT METHOD OF CURRENT PRICE VALUES OF METAL ORES AND MINERALS AND OF OTHER MINERAL FUELS

An improvement has been applied to the seasonal adjustment method of current price goods credits components, 'metal ores and minerals' and 'other mineral fuels'. From September quarter 2005 onwards, seasonal factors derived from the corresponding chain volume measures have been applied to seasonally adjust the current price values. As a result of this improvement, trend break corrections previously applied to the 'metal ores and minerals' and the 'other mineral fuels' trend series have been removed. This improvement has been implemented from the March quarter 2017 issue of this publication and the March 2017 issue of the International Trade in Goods and Services, Australia (cat. no. 5368.0) publication.
