Terms of trade


Australias terms of trade2 fell 4.4 per cent

in 2009-10

this was a result of export prices

decreasing 15.1 per cent and importprices falling 11.2 per cent.

Since 2004-05, export prices have risen by

an average rate of 6.4 per cent per annum,

while import prices have risen by


Box 1: Trade overview

Australia was just one of three OECD countries to record positive export growth volumes in 2009 (the others

being Iceland and New Zealand). In 2009-10, Australias export volumes grew at 5.3 per cent.

Export values fell by 10.6 per cent in 2009-10 to $254.2 billion - with all export categories showing a fall(Primary products, Simply transformed manufactures, Elaborately transformed manufactures, Other goods

(mainly Gold and Confidential items) and Services). This decrease in value highlights the sharp fall in

Australias rural, resources and energy exports prices in the first half of 2009-10 as demand from our key

Asian markets softened. However commodity prices rebounded strongly in the last quarter of 2009-10.

The relative price of our exports in terms of our imports is reflected in Australias terms of trade, which fell

by 4.4 per cent in 2009-10.

2The Terms of trade are calculated as the ratio of the price we receive for our exports to the price we pay for our imports.

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. These restrictions have led to under reporting of total

imports of SITC code 792 - Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts. Import totals from the relevant countries are also

affected. Attachment A to this article provides background information and an update on the methodology used to

calculate these estimates.

Estimates of impor ts of aircraft and related parts in 2009

Australias imports of Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts fell 20.6 per cent (or $1.2 billion) to $4.8 billion in 2009,

making it Australias 11th largest import (in terms of goods and services). Table 1 shows imports of Aircraft,

spacecraft & related parts by Australias major sources. For Australias two top sources, imports from the

United States fell 9.3 per cent (or $216 million) to $2.1 billion, while imports from France fell 51.0 per cent (or

$1.3 billion) to $1.2 billion in 2009.

Impact on country imports and trade balances

Table 2shows the impact of adding back the confidential Aircraft, spacecraft & related partsto the major countries

affected. Imports from France, (and therefore the EU) and related trade balances are both under reported, though

the impact for Brazil for 2009 is fairly small. For the United States in Table 2the ABS unpublished import data has

been used. It also shows that both imports and the related trade balances are significantly under reported for 2008

and 2009 when compared to ABS reported data.

Update for financial year 2009-10

DFAT is able to provide a partial update of Australian aircraft imports for 2009-10 for France and the

United States. DFAT is unable to update data on a financial year for the other sources of Australian aircraft

imports.

Table 3details imports of Aircraft, spacecraft & related partsfor France and the United States. It shows that

imports from France fell 51.0 per cent (or $1.3 billion) to $1.2 billion in 2009-10, while imports from the

United States fell 9.3 per cent (or $216 million) to $2.1 billion. Table 4shows the impact of adding back the

confidential Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts to France. For the United States in Table 4 the ABS

unpublished import data has been used. In both cases imports and the related trade balances are under

reported for 2008-09 and 2009-10 in ABS published data.

Attachment A

Methodology for estimating aircraft imports and impact on country import totals

Background

The ABS changed the method used in confidentialising data for merchandise imports from September 2008

onwards. Import data commodities that have the confidentiality restrictions of "No commodity details" or "No value

details" are now aggregated into a single confidential country code. Attachment B lists the commodities (in

Harmonized Tariff Item Statistical Code (HTISC) and Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) codes)

that are affected by this change1

For import data prior to September 2008, these data are added back into the appropriate country totals (i.e. these

totals show the correct level of trade). From September 2008 the confidential data are not being added back into

the appropriate country totals. Instead they are published as "No country details" in total Australian import data.

This change ensures the confidentiality of ABS data is not breached, however the country totals are now not

necessarily showing the correct level of trade.

.

Table 5 shows that these commodities in aggregate represented $2.0 billion or 0.9 per cent of total Australian

merchandise imports in 2008 and $5.5 billion or 2.7 per cent in 2009.

Impact on imports of aircraft and related parts

Of the commodity codes affected by this change (see Attachment B), SITC code 792 - Aircraft, spacecraft &

related partswould make up the most significant component.

By comparing ABS import data with partner country export data (e.g. Frances exports to Australia), it is possible to

obtain more details about Australias imports of Aircraft, spacecraft & related partsfor the periods not published by

the ABS. This can then be matched to the reported ABS data for 2008 and 2009 to arrive at an estimate of the true

value of Aircraft, spacecraft & related partsfor these years. Attachment Clists all the HTISC codes at the 6-digit

level that make up SITC 792 and shows which of those are confidential2

Based on ABS reported data only, imports of Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts (SITC 792) were valued at$240 million in 2009. This data excludes large aircraft from September 2008 and helicopters, medium-size aircraft

and parts of aircraft or helicopters from December 2008.

.

It should be noted that data as published by our major trading partners are not fully compatible with data published

by the ABS. This is due to timing, coverage and valuation differences that will exist between the two data sets3

.

1The ABS publishes monthly, a list of all commodities with confidential restrictions in place in the publication ,International MerchandiseTrade: Confidential Commodities List (ABS catalogue 5372.0.55.0.01) available at the ABS website (www.abs.gov.au).2

The Australian HTISC classification is fully compatible with the international Harmonized System at the 6-digit level.3A particular problem in using this type of analysis to estimate the imports of aircraft into Australia is to exclude imports of aircraft on anoperational lease (which the ABS excludes for Australian import statistics). To try to overcome this issue the Civil Aviation SafetyAuthority civil aircraft register has been used to try and identify imports of leased aircraft so as to exclude these aircraft in partnercountry export data.

Using partner country data for the periods excluded from ABS data, Australia imported an additional $4.5 billion of

Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts in 2009 (which accounted for around 80 per cent of the $5.5 billion of

confidential imports excluded from country import totals in 2009)4

Impact on country imports and trade balances

.

To calculate the impact on the country imports totals and related trade balances the estimate of aircraft imports not

being included in ABS statistics sourced from partner country data has been added to reported ABS country import

totals. These estimates of actual country import totals are still under reported as a range of other non-aircraft

import commodities are also not included in country import totals refer to Attachment C.

In June 2010, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has been able to negotiate with the ABS the

release of actual country import totals for the United States on a financial and calendar year basis only as a

special data service. As a result total imports from the United States covering all Australian imports from the

United States (including both the aircraft and non-aircraft import commodities which have been confidentialised)

are now available. DFAT has now replaced ABS reported total import data for the United States with actual total

imports for the United States in all its Trade publications (see Table 2). The ABS was unable to release this data

for other partner countries.

4In 2009 both the United Kingdom and the United States confidentialised aircraft exports to a degree. For the United States the lowerlevel of confidentiality still enabled the analysis of United States export data and ABS import data to produce an estimate of the value ofimports of aircraft from the United States (excludes US military aircraft which could not be separately identified in US merchandise tradestatistics). However the higher degree of confidentiality in the United Kingdom export statistics prevented the estimation of aircraftimports from the United Kingdom. As a result the estimation of Australian aircraft imports from 2009 onwards excludes imports from theUnited Kingdom.
