Data calculation/treatment
It is not possible to estimate current trend levels for all seasonally adjusted time series to Stats NZ’s usual quality standard until it is known the full effects of COVID-19 on each time series. When each series stabilises, Stats NZ will estimate the COVID-19 effect on trend. The timeframe for this will vary for different series depending on how they are specifically affected by COVID-19.
