BERL Regional Profiles and Indicators
BERL offers regional numbers, analysis, and strategy consulting, all of which has proven very useful to District and City Councils, Regional Councils, Economic Development Agencies and private enterprise. We are able to provide quarterly and yearly reports at a local level for every territorial authority and region in New Zealand, as well as a wealth of information at a higher level if required. Updated profiles and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for your local authority (year to March 2007), using the BERL Database, will be available from January 2008. In addition, we provide quarterly updates of key data for your area to keep abreast of changes as they happen. All reports are supplied in both hard copy and electronic (.pdf) format. In addition, tables and data can be supplied through electronic Microsoft Excel (.xls) file if required. Our “standard” annual package and an extensive list of add-ons are detailed below. Some of the add-ons are on an annual basis, but others can be produced in a quarterly report written specifically for your area. Contact us at info@berl.co.nz or +64 4 931 9200 for details on the packages available and how we can tailor them to your needs. Annual summary profile package Our “standard” annual report summarises growth and changes for your area over the last year and decade across the following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Value Added (GDP); Resident population; GDP per capita; Employment; Productivity; Business units; and Business size. KPI growth can be ranked against all other local authorities if desired. Industry changes are presented at the six-sector level for the last decade and last three years. We also provide location quotients, which are a measure of the importance of a particular industry to your local economy relative to its importance to the national economy. Commentary on the top 10 industries in terms of size and growth (both employment and output) at the 53 industry level is included. Appendix tables with data back to 1994 are also provided.

Price upon discussion
Indicators, definitions, jargon Year - All numbers in the standard annual report are for the twelve months to March of the stated year, with the exception of the resident population figures, which are as at June of the stated year. Additional indicators will be for the year stated. Value Added (or the region's GDP) - Value added measures the total value contributed by the activities of all businesses and organisations in the region. In theory it is equal to the value of the output of business (ie sales or turnover) less its purchases from other businesses of goods and services used in production (that latter are sometimes termed intermediate inputs). In practice value added is akin to the sum of wages, salaries, profits and operating surplus arising from all economic activity in the industry and/or region. The total value added for a region is equivalent to its contribution to national GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The effect of price inflation is removed from the measure of value added so that growth over time provides a clear indication of the increase (or decrease) in economic activity. To preserve comparability with official published national GDP statistics, our BERL’s value added figures for TLAs are expressed in terms of constant-priced current year dollars. Employment (FTEs) - Measured as the number of employed persons, but in terms of full-time equivalents (FTEs), such that two part-time employed persons is counted as one full-time person. Productivity - Measured as the value added (or GDP) of the region divided by the number of FTEs. Business units and size - This provides the number of business operating units within the geographic area of your Local Authority. Business size is defined as the average number of FTEs for each operating unit in your area and can provide an indicator of whether businesses in your area are on average growing or shrinking.
