Real GDP data are from Statistics New Zealand (table ref: SNE065AA). Please note that in Energy in New Zealand 2015 the base year for constant prices was changed from 1995/96 to 2009/10 by Statistics New Zealand. Therefore comparisons of this series with previous versions should be done with great care.
Transport is included in the national average because transport supports the entire economy.
