EARLY RELEASE OF THE JUNE QUARTER 2002 NATIONAL ACCOUNTS
I have requested the Australian Statistician to consider releasing the June
Quarter 2002 National Accounts one day early as I am required to be outside
Australia on the originally scheduled date as a result of the forthcoming APEC
Finance Ministers’ meeting in Los Cabos, Mexico on 5-6 September 2002.
The Australian Statistician has agreed to this request and indicated that he
will release the June Quarter 2002 National Accounts one day earlier, on Tuesday
3 September 2002.
The usual Treasurer’s press conference will occur in Canberra on that day.
