A minor processing error has been identified and corrected in the current account balance as a percentage of GDP data and associated references in the bulletin. The error affected 2017 and 2018 quarters up to and including 2018 Q3. The error was due to a processing issue and did not affect the underlying current account balance or GDP estimates or any other outputs within the release.
