They note that the Annual Balance Sheets are still “being refined” in some aspects, and are described as provisional, with significant revisions each year. Equity values are provided by SNZ and the above proportions of equity values are calculated by the author by removing double counting due to enterprises themselves owning shares; this can be approximate only.

Note that the OIO suppresses some values. In 2017, it suppressed a dollar value in July 2017 for one approval which caused totals for the rest of the year also to be suppressed. The total dollar values given here are estimated by replacing that one approval by the minimum $100 million threshold. It is therefore an underestimate.

Note that these statistics are compiled on a different basis from those also from Statistics New Zealand above, so the total, $ b, does not match. These are compiled on a “directional” basis, based on ultimate nationality of ownership; the above are on a “balance sheet” basis, based on residency of the company. Industry statistics below are also compiled on a directional basis.
