National Accounts; approaches of domestic product (GDP); 1969 - 2012

Table explanation


In the national accounts gross domestic product is approached from three points of view: from the output, from the generation of income and from the final expenditure. Gross domestic product is a main macroeconomic indicator. The volume change of gross domestic product is a measure for the economis growth of a country.

This table presents annual data on the output components, the final expenditure categories and the income components of gross domestic product of the Netherlands.

The above mentioned macroeconomic variables are presented in:

- Value at current prices, mln euro
- Value at prices of 2005, mln euro
- Volume changes on to previous year, %
- Price indices 2005 = 100

Data available from 1969 to 2012

Description topics

GDP from the output
The approach of GDP from the output.
Volume changes on previous year
The weighted average of the changes in the quantity and quality of the components of a certain goods or service transaction or balancing item, annual percentage changes.
Output basic prices
Output covers the value of all goods produced for sale, including unsold goods, and all re-ceipts for services rendered. Output furthermore covers the market equivalent of goods and services produced for own use, such as own account capital formation, services of owner-occupied dwellings and agricultural products produced by farmers for own consumption. The output of such goods is estimated by valuing the quantities produced against the price that the producer would have received if these goods had been sold.
Output is valued at basic prices, defined as the price received by the producer excluding trade and transport margins and the balance of taxes and subsidies on products. This is the price the producer is ultimately left with.
Intermediate consumption (-)
Intermediate consumption includes all goods and services used up in the production process in the accounting period, regardless the date of purchase. This includes for example fuel, raw materials, semi manufactured goods, communication services, cleansing services and audits by accountants.
Difference imputed and paid VAT
Imputed VAT differs from VAT actually paid to the government. This is due to acquittals, bad debts, fines, the Regulation for small entrepreneurs and VAT evasion.
Gross domestic product
Domestic product (GDP) is the final result of the production activities of resident producer units. It is equal to the total value added at basic prices of industries, supplemented with some transactions which are not attributed to individual industries. The value added (basic prices) by industry is equal to the difference between output (basic prices) and intermediate consumption (purchasers' prices). The transactions which are not attributed to individual industries are the balance of taxes and subsidies on products and the difference between imputed and paid VAT (value added tax). Gross domestic product also equals the value of income generated in the Netherlands.
The volume change of GDP is the economic growth.
GDP from the generation of income
The approach of GDP from the generation of income (compensation of employees, operating surplus / mixed income (gross), taxes on production and imports less subsidies).
Volume changes on previous year
The weighted average of the changes in the quantity and quality of the components of a certain goods or service transaction or balancing item, annual percentage changes.

The approach of GDP from the final expenditure (final consumption
expenditure, fixed capital formation (gross), changes in inventories,
exports and imports).
