Limitations of the data
Figures for the year ended March 2022 are provisional. Revisions to the March 2022 estimates next year will result from inclusion of detailed results from the 2022 annual enterprise survey, and more up-to-date information becoming available.
Exclusions
Money spent overseas by New Zealand households is excluded. Expenditure by non-residents in New Zealand is also excluded.
Changes to data collection/processing
The annual national accounts (income and expenditure) release has in the past combined provisional data (latest March year t) and balanced data (t-1 and prior) together in the same release. From the 2022 release, the national accounts (income and expenditure) release will contain final data only for balanced years (t-1 and prior) and will no longer include the latest provisional March year (t). This is with the exception of the capital stock series that will continue to be published as usual.
