Notes:

① The Chinese term used in the publications of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is "本地生产总值开支估计".

② With the establishment of the Hospital Authority, there is a change in statistical classification for ex-subvented hospitals.

Consumption expenditure of ex-subvented hospitals, which was previously included in private consumption expenditure,

is included in government consumption expenditure as from 1992.

* The estimates are subject to revisions later on as more data become available.
