The new Gross Domestic Product (GDP) series released by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) in February 1999 is with reference to the base price of 1993-94. The base price refers to the year against which the GDP and its components are measured to calculate the growth rates and other economic indicators. In this case, the new series adopted the base year of 1993-94 as the reference point for measuring GDP.
