Notes:

p = predicted
The rates of some countries were calculated in accordance with the 1993 version of the United Nations System of National Accounts (1993 SNA).
The ROC has used the 1993 SNA to calculate GDP since 1996. The figures include computer software expenditures and mineral mining and prospecting fees which have been changed to be listed as fixed capital; indirect measurement of financial intermediary services changed according to user distribution; and basic government infrastructure submitted for listing as fixed capital consumption.
