Production approach to GDP

The composition of GDP from the value added of all economic activities is
provided in this part.
Gross domestic product at market prices (GDP) is calculated as follows:
total value added at basic prices of industries
plus: balance of taxes and subsidies on products
plus:
VAT, taxes on imports, subsidies on re-exports cannot be attributed to
individual industries. Therefore, GDP at market prices cannot be broken
down completely by industry.

Gross value added at basic prices

Gross value added at basic prices of all economic activities.
Value added at basic prices by industry is equal to the difference between
output (basic prices) and intermediate consumption (purchaser prices).
Economic activities are classified conform the standard industrial
classification 2008 (NACE Rev. 2)used by the National Accounts.

Producers of goods

Gross value added at basic prices of good producers.
The good producers contains the Agriculture, forestry and fishing, Mining
and quarrying, the manufacturing, the energy and water supply and the
construction.

Additional details

The additional details of some variables in the previous parts of this
table are being given in this section.

Consumption expenditure

More specific details of the final consumption expenditure are provided
in part of the table.
There are two classification for the consumption expenditure concept: the
expenditure classification and the acquisition classification.
The expenditure classification refers to expenditure on consumption goods.
In contrast the acquisition classification refers to the acquisition of
consumption goods and services. The difference between these concepts lies
in the treatment of certain goods and services financed by the government
or NPI households but supplied to households as social transfers in kind.
By convention, all final consumption expenditure by NPI households and
most of the final consumption expenditure by the government in the field
of education, health, social security and welfare, sport and recreation
and culture are treated as individual consumption.
I. The expenditure classification of final consumption:
This classification focuses on the expenses for consumption goods and
services. The total final consumptions is divided to sectors which
actually financed the consumption expenditures.
Classification scheme:
Total final consumption expenditure=
Consumption expenditure by households and by NPI households=
Consumption expenditure by households plus
Consumption expenditure by NPI households
Consumption expenditure by general government=
Collective consumption by general government plus
Individual consumption by general government
II. The acquisition classification of final consumption:
This classification focuses on the acquisition of consumption goods and
services. The total final consumption is divided to groups which have
acquired the consumption goods and services: individuals or the
collective.
Classification scheme:
Total final consumption expenditure=
Actual individual consumption=
Consumption expenditure by households
Consumption expenditure by NPI households
Individual consumption by general government
Actual collective consumption

This classification focuses on the expenses for consumption goods and
services. The total final consumptions is divided to sectors which
actually financed the consumption expenditures.
Classification scheme:

Consumption expenditure by households and by NPI households=

Consumption expenditure by NPI households
Consumption expenditure by general government=
Collective consumption by general government plus
Individual consumption by general government.

Consumption by households

Final consumption expenditure by households and by Non-Profit Institutions
Final consumption expenditure by households includes the following
borderline cases:
- income in kind like accommodation, food, clothing etc.
- services of dwellings, which are occupied by the owners themselves and
without any actual rent payments. These services are valued by applying
the rents of similar dwellings.
- goods and services produced for own use, as in agriculture.
The value of these products is calculated by applying the market prices
for similar products.
- durable consumption goods such as private cars, household appliances,
furniture and clothing. However, the purchases of dwellings by households
are not seen as final consumption, but as fixed capital formation by
households.
The detailed data on consumption of households concern private domestic
consumption expenditure. This includes final consumption in the
Netherlands by residents and non-residents. Final consumption by
households can be calculated by deducting from private domestic
consumption expenditure the final consumption by non-residents in the
Netherlands (registered as exports) and adding final consumption by
households in the rest of the world (registered as imports).
Final consumption expenditure by NPI households
Final consumption expenditure by NPI households consists of all the
non-market output of this sector excluding the own account capital
formation.

Consumption of goods

Consumption of goods by households and NPI households.

Other goods

Consumption of other goods by households and NPI households.

Energy and water

Consumption of energy and water by households and NPI
households.

Gross fixed capital formation

Details of the gross fixed capital formation in two classification:
Gross fixed capital formation by type of capital good and gross fixed
capital formation by industry of destination.

By economic activity of destination

Fixed capital formation by economic activities of destination.
Fixed assets are produced tangible or intangible assets that are
used in the production process for more than one year.
Gross fixed capital formation consists of producers' acquisitions
less disposals of fixed assets:
- acquisitions, less disposals, of tangible fixed assets:
- acquisitions, less disposals, of intangible fixed assets:
- major improvements to land (reclamation, land consolidation
and land preparing for building).
Fixed capital formation also includes:
- work in progress of construction such as unfinished dwell-
ings, non-residential buildings and civil engineering works are
recorded as fixed capital formation of the client.
- military structures and equipment, similar to those used by
civilian producers, such as airfields and hospitals.
- improvements to existing fixed assets that go well beyond the
requirements of ordinary maintenance and repairs.
- transfer costs of fixed assets, such as conveyance fees and
costs made by real estate agents, architects and notaries.
On the level of the total economy and the sectors, an adjustment
is made for the transactions in used fixed assets, which are
seen as investments of the buyer and disinvestment of the
seller. This adjustment is not made for the industries.

Fixed assets from production and imports

Total of acquisitions of new fixed assets.
