- 20 - DFAT will be using the actual export data for these countries in all its output (including in its publications, country and economic factsheets, trade pivot tables and spreadsheets) 11 . To help users identify where the actual export data has been applied in DFAT’s trade statistical publications, the data cells have been shaded in the relevant tables in the statistical trade publications. Impact of the change on countries which the ABS did not provide actual data Users should be aware that countries not covered by the unpublished ABS annual data may not be showing the actual magnitude of exports for 2013-14 or movements in exports between 2012-13 and 2013-14. To help users determine the likely impact, DFAT has conducted an analysis of the impact by analysing partner country import data for 2013-14. This analysis included 43 of the 55 confidential codes only 12 . It should be noted that there are differences between ABS merchandise export statistics and partner country import statistics such as timing, coverage and valuation differences which could impact on the accuracy of this analysis. Therefore this analysis should be used as a guide to the impact on the under-reporting only. Appendix G – DFAT adjustments to ABS official trade data shows the results of this analysis for all countries that have so far reported 2013-14 trade data 13 . For most partner countries not covered by the ABS actual export data, the impact is minor and is less than 2 per cent of total exports. However for a number of key countries the impact is more significant, such as for Finland and Singapore. Impact on country groups In terms of country groups, DFAT has applied the actual export data for the selected countries obtained from the ABS. This means that all country group exports totals will still be underreported to some extent for the partner countries not covered by this unpublished ABS data. For example ASEAN includes the actual export data for Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, but not for, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia and Singapore. Conclusion This issue is going to make it difficult to determine actual trends in Australia’s total exports (and imports 14 ) by partner country on an ongoing basis. DFAT is working with the ABS towards a solution that better meets the needs of trade users for accurate partner country trade data on an annual basis while maintaining the confidentiality of businesses that report data to the ABS. All users are advised to use 2013-14 ABS partner country merchandise export data with caution for the countries not covered by the unpublished ABS data. ABS merchandise trade by State/Territory is also affected by the change though DFAT has no information to determine the magnitude of the under reporting for individual States or Territories. For more information please refer to DFAT’s Composition of Trade publication Appendix G – DFAT adjustments to ABS official trade data. Author: Frank Bingham Economic Advocacy & Analysis Branch statssection@dfat.gov.au 11 DFAT has also adjusted the published ABS trade data to include exports of Cane sugar and Non-industrial diamonds by partner country that is released by the ABS as a special data service. As data for Cane sugar is released after a six month time lag (the ABS has released data up to March 2014 (at December 2014). DFAT estimates have been used for the June quarter 2014. 12 It is only possible to match ABS and partner country codes at the 6-digit level. Codes at the 8-digit level are country specific and cannot be matched. DFAT could not match 11 of the 54 AHECC codes. 13 On the trade databases that DFAT has access to which includes the United Nations’ Comtrade database and the Global Trade Atlas. 14 A similar issue has existed with ABS merchandise import data since September 2008-09, refer to DFAT’s article on Australia’s imports of aircraft & parts - update for 2013-14 for more details (http://www.dfat.gov.au/publications/statspubs/trade_statistical_articles.html).
- 21 - Australia’s imports of aircraft & parts - update for 2013 Introduction This article updates analysis on the impact of confidentiality in Australia Bureau of Statistics (ABS) international merchandise trade statistics on imports of aircraft and parts. To avoid divulging commercially-sensitive details of individual firms, the ABS restricts release of statistics on certain commodities. These restrictions have led to the partial restriction of data released for imports of SITC code 792 - Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts and related trade country import totals in ABS reported data. Below we provide an estimate of those imports, drawing on publicly available information including data from the countries where these imports are sourced. Estimates of imports of aircraft and related parts in 2013 Australia’s imports of Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts rose 11.3 per cent (or $382 million) to $3.8 billion in 2013, making it Australia’s 15th largest import (in terms of goods and services). Table 1 shows imports of Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts by Australia’s major sources. For Australia’s two top sources, imports from the United States fell 7.8 per cent (or $152 million) to $1.8 billion while imports from France fell 7.6 per cent (or $63 million) to $770 million in 2013.
