Detailed Economic Forecast Information
This section includes a series of tables to provide additional detail on the economic forecasts presented in the Budget Update.
The economic and fiscal numbers and forecasts in this document pre-date the release of revised GDP data by Statistics New Zealand on 15 May 2012. These new GDP data incorporated a new industry classification and other updates and resulted in changes to the level of economic activity in recent years. Although historical numbers will change, we do not expect any direct impact from these new data on our economic and fiscal forecasts. In this document, all references are to the previous GDP data unless otherwise specified. The new data will be fully incorporated into the Half Year Update 2012.
