For the indices based on GDP, it is only after the year is over that GDP can be measured. For price indices, the annual observations are usually the average of monthly observations. It would not be valid to compare a monthly observation in the current year with an annual observation in an earlier year.</p> <p>We have created many of the historical series in MeasuringWorth, but the most recent observations are obtained from government agencies. The annual CPI and RPI observations are usually published in the first month or two of the next year, however the numbers for GDP do not come out until later. We strive to get the new numbers up as quickly as possible.</p> <br /> <div style='text-align: right;'><a onmouseover='this.style.cursor="pointer" ' style='font-size: 12px;' onfocus='this.blur();' onclick="document.getElementById('PopUp').style.display = 'none' " ><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Close</span></a></div> </div> </p> </td><td></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=3 height=1px></td></tr> <tr><td colspan=3 style='font-weight: normal; padding: 6px 2px 2px 2px;'></td></tr> </table> </form> <p>The GDP and population series are available for any year, or range of years, between 1789 and the present. The GDP deflator, real GDP and real GDP per capita are available from 1828 on, the CPI from 1851, and the stock index starts in 1875. </p><p> Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the Australia colonies were part of the British Empire and their official currency was the British pound. With Federation in 1901, the Australian government became responsible for the currency and in 1910 introduced the Australian pound (consisting of 20 shillings or 240 pence) as the nation鈥檚 official currency. Until 1931, the Australian and British pounds were officially at parity although there were small variations in the market exchange rate. In 1966, the official currency was changed to the Australian dollar (with 100 cents), at a conversion rate of one Australian pound to two Australian dollars. </p><p> Data for GDP before 1966 are presented in pounds and those after are in dollars. The per capita values are converted to dollars from the beginning. </p> <p> As with most long-run data sets, different series must be spliced together to make them consistent over time. This may make the nominal levels slightly different than they are in the source data.
