This paper informs users about planned data changes to be included in Gross Domestic Product: September 2013 quarter, to be published 19 December 2013. The changes will improve how we measure New Zealand's economy and allow better international comparability.

The paper briefly outlines each change, including the main variable affected and an estimate of its effect on GDP, where possible. The exact size of changes may vary when they're published in December, as the values in the paper are working estimates
