Table explanation

Description topics

Total economy

The total economy consists of non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government, households and non-profit institutions (NPI) serving households. The breakdown into institutional sectors is based on international rules.

Gross domestic product

Gross 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 sector 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.

Consumption of fixed capital

Consumption of fixed capital represents the depreciation of the stock of produced fixed assets, as a result of normal technical and economical ageing and insurable accidental damage. Losses due to catastrophes and unforeseen ageing are seen as a capital loss.

Net operating surplus / mixed income

Net operating surplus / mixed income remains after deducting consumption of fixed capital from gross operating surplus / mixed income.
Gross operating surplus is the balance that remains after deducting from the value added the compensation of employees and the balance of other taxes and subsidies on production. The operating surplus of family enterprises is called mixed income, because it also contains compensation for work by the owners and their family members.
The operating surplus of the total economy is the sum of all operating surplus or mixed income of individual sectors.

Net national income

Net national income remains after deducting consumption of fixed capital from gross national income.
The national income is the income that the sectors receive for their direct participation in the production process and the income that they receive in exchange for the provision of financial resources, land, etc. National income is the sum of GDP and net primary income from the rest of the world. It can also be calculated as the sum of the primary income of all sectors together (total economy).

Net disposable national income

Disposable income is the balancing item of the secondary distribution of income account. It shows for each sector its disposable income, which remains after the redistribution of primary income by compulsory or non-compulsory current transfers between the sectors. Total disposable income of all resident units is called disposable national income, which is equal to national income plus net current transfers received from the rest of the world.
Net disposable income remains after deducting consumption of fixed capital from gross disposable income.

Net national saving

Saving is the difference between disposable income and final consumption expenditure, adjusted for net equity in pension funds reserves. Net saving remains after deducting consumption of fixed capital from gross saving.

Gross fixed capital formation

Expenditure for 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:
dwellings and non-residential buildings.
civil engineering works.
transport equipment.
machinery, equipment and computers.
cultivated assets (trees and livestock).
- acquisitions, less disposals, of intangible fixed assets:
mineral exploration.
computer software.
entertainment, literary or artistic originals.
other 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 dwellings, 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.
The registration of fixed capital formation by industry and sector is on an owner basis. That means that fixed capital formation is registered on the industry or sector which can be considered to be the economic owner of the capital goods concerned.

Net lending (+) or net borrowing (-)

Net lending (+) or net borrowing (-) is the balancing item on the current and the capital account. This balance is equal to the balance of transactions on the financial account; a deficit on the current and capital account is financed by new liabilities and/or the sale of financial assets. In case of a surplus, liabilities are repaid and/or financial assets acquired.
---
Net lending or net borrowing for the total economy is equal to the balance on the current and the capital account of all the domestic sectors. The balance of the financial account for the total economy shows the amount of net lending to or borrowing from the rest of the world.

Changes in financial net worth

Changes in financial net worth as established from the financial transactions, equal all changes in financial relations of one sector with other sectors or with the rest of the world. Basically, this balance equals net lending (+) or net borrowing (-).However as a consequence of using various sources for current and capital transactions and for financial transactions statistical discrepancies will appear.

Labour input of employed persons

The amount of labour that is deployed in a given period. The volume of labour can be expressed in jobs, in full-time equivalent jobs or in labour hours worked.
Employed persons are all persons who are working for a institutional unit residing in the Netherlands.
Employed persons include all persons who:
– have a paid job for at least one hour a week.
– perform a job of which the payment is withheld from registration of tax and/or social insurance authorities, while the work itself is legal.
– are temporarily not working (due to illness, bad weather, etc.), but who continue to receive their remuneration.
– have taken a temporarily unpaid leave.
Employed persons may either be employees or self-employed. Employees are persons who during a reference period performed some work for wage or salary, in cash or in kind. Self-employed persons are those who earn their income by performing labour on their own (company, profession) or who cooperate in the business of their family. The latter are not counted as self-employed if there is an employment contract.

Non-financial corporations

The sector non-financial corporations consists of all (quasi-)corporations which are principally engaged in the production of goods and marketable non-financial services.
---
Non-financial corporations include:
- all corporations, quasi-corporations and co-operative organisations which do not belong to the financial corporations.
- all non-profit institutions which do not pertain to the other sectors. Examples are old people’s homes, hospitals and housing corporations.
- public enterprises, which are fully or partly owned by the government, like Dutch Railways (NS).

Output

Output covers the value of all goods produced for sale, including unsold goods, and all receipts 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.

Gross value added

Gross value added (basic prices) per sector is equal to the difference between the production (basic prices) and intermediate consumption (purchasers' prices).

Net operating surplus

Net operating surplus remains after deducting consumption of fixed capital from gross operating surplus.
Gross operating surplus is the balance that remains after deducting from the value added the compensation of employees and the balance of other taxes and subsidies on production.

Net profits before taxes

The net profit before taxes of non-financial corporations is calculated as follows:
Net operating surplus
plus received property income (interest, dividends, etc.)
minus paid interest
minus paid income from land and subsoil assets

Profit ratio

The profit ratio is calculated as the gross operating surplus divided by the gross value added. This profitability-type indicator shows the part of the value added which is generated by capital during the production process. It is the complement of the share of labour costs (plus net taxes on production) in value added. The gross operating surplus is an approximation of operating profit including consumption of fixed capital.

Gross fixed capital formation

Expenditure for 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:
dwellings and non-residential buildings.
civil engineering works.
transport equipment.
machinery, equipment and computers.
cultivated assets (trees and livestock).
- acquisitions, less disposals, of intangible fixed assets:
mineral exploration.
computer software.
entertainment, literary or artistic originals.
other 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 dwellings, 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.
The registration of fixed capital formation by industry and sector is on an owner basis. That means that fixed capital formation is registered on the industry or sector which can be considered to be the economic owner of the capital goods concerned.

Capital formation ratio

Capital formation ratio is calculated as gross fixed capital formation divided by gross value added.

Labour input of employees

The amount of labour that is deployed by employees in a given period. Employees are persons who during a reference period performed some work for wage or salary, in cash or in kind. The volume of labour can be expressed in jobs, in full-time equivalent jobs or in labour hours worked.

Financial corporations

The sector financial corporations consists of all (quasi-)corporations which are principally engaged in intermediation (acquisition, transformation and distribution of financial means), insurance (conversion of individual into collective risks) and financial auxiliary services.
This sector consists of three subsectors: monetary financial institutions, insurance corporations and pension funds and other financial institutions.

Gross value added

Gross value added (basic prices) per sector is equal to the difference between the production (basic prices) and intermediate consumption (purchasers' prices).

Net profits before taxes

The net profit before taxes of financial corporations is calculated as follows:
Net operating surplus
plus received property income (interest, dividends, etc.)
minus paid interest
minus paid income from land and subsoil assets

Financial assets

The financial assets of the institutional sector financial corporations at the end of a period.

Net lending to private sector

The difference between borrowed short-term and long-term credits and repayment of the non-financial corporations and households to other monetary financial institutions and other financial intermediaries in a period.

Lending to private sector, end of period

Total of short-term and long-term loans by other monetary financial institutions and other financial intermediaries to the non-financial corporations and households at the end of the period concerned.

Labour input of employees

The amount of labour that is deployed by employees in a given period. Employees are persons who during a reference period performed some work for wage or salary, in cash or in kind. The volume of labour can be expressed in jobs, in full-time equivalent jobs or in labour hours worked.

General government (consolidated)

The sector general government primarily consists of all entities (covered by public law) that carry out activities regarding the redistribution of income and wealth. In the Netherlands this concerns ministries, municipalities, provinces, water boards and the like. In the second place general government consists of entities that are controlled and mainly financed by the aforementioned entities, and do not produce for the market. Non-market output means that the sale proceeds are structural less than 50 per cent of the production costs. In this way, for instance, Prorail and the Open University are counted to the general government.
Government institutions that are active abroad, like embassies, belong to the sector general government as well. On the other hand foreign embassies and international institutions, like Europol and the International Court of Justice, do not belong to the Dutch government.
Public enterprises (like the Dutch Railways, Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol), the Dutch Municipal Bank (BNG) and quasi-corporations are no part of the sector general government. The Dutch Central Bank (DNB) also does not belong to the sector general government.
The general government sector is split up into three subsectors: central government, local government and social security funds.
---
Consolidated means that the transactions between government-units are eliminated.

Total revenue

Total revenue of the sector general government.
The total revenue of the general government per quarter as a percentage of GDP is a moving annual total. It is calculated as the total revenue of the general government for the quarterly report plus the previous three quarters, divided by the GDP in the reporting quarterly plus the previous three quarters. The figure for the fourth quarter is equal to the annual figure.

Taxes and social security contributions

The total of taxes and social security contributions which the Government receives.
Taxes are mandatory payments to the Government with no direct compensation. The taxes are divided into:
- taxes on production and imports;
- taxes on income and capital;
- wealth taxes (capital transfers).
Social security contributions are payments by households to social insurance institutions for the financing of the social benefits.
The total tax and contribution revenues of the Government per quarter as a percentage of GDP is a moving annual total. It is calculated as the total tax and contribution revenues of the Government for the quarterly report plus the previous three quarters, divided by the GDP in the quarterly report plus the previous three quarters. The figure for the fourth quarter is equal to the annual figure.

Total expenditure

Total expenditure of the Government. These expenditures include the remuneration of employees, intermediate consumption, fixed capital formation, legal social insurance, social benefits, subsidies, benefits legal provision income property, other expenditure n.e.c. (taxes on production and not related to products, benefits directly by employers, other current transfers, capital transfers, balance buying and selling of non-produced non-financial assets).
Consumption of fixed capital is not included in the expenditure.
The total expenditure of the Government per quarter as a percentage of GDP is a moving annual total. It is calculated as the total expenditure of the Government for the quarterly report plus the previous three quarters, divided by the GDP in the quarterly report plus the previous three quarters. The figure for the fourth quarter is equal to the annual figure.

EDP-debt

The consolidated debt of the general government (valued at the nominal value) excluding the debt and other debt on the title financial derivatives, expressed as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP). For the general government the public debt is consolidated. This means that transactions between government-units are eliminated.
Due to differences in valuation method the sum of the debt-titles of the public debt (nominal) is not equal to the sum of the debt-titles in the national accounts (market value). The debt consists of the titles: currency, short-term securities, bonds, short-term loans and long-term loans. General government debt (also known as EDP-debt) is one of the components of the Stability and Growth pact. EDP stands for Excessive Deficit Procedure.
The total expenditure of the general government per quarter as a percentage of GDP is a moving annual total. It is calculated as the total expenditure of the general government for the reporting quarter plus the previous three quarters, divided by the GDP in the reporting quarter plus the previous three quarters. The figure for the fourth quarter is equal to the annual figure.

EDP-deficit

The EDP-deficit is the net borrowing of the government as defined in the National accounts plus the interest advantage / less the interest disadvantage that the government has from interest swaps which she has arranged. The EDP-deficit is one of the parts of the Stability and growth pact.
The EDP-deficit of the general government per quarter as a percentage of GDP is a moving annual total. It is calculated as the EDP-deficit of the general government for the reporting quarter plus the previous three quarters, divided by the GDP in the reporting quarter plus the previous three quarters. The figure for the fourth quarter is equal to the annual figure.

Labour input of employees

The amount of labour that is deployed by employees in a given period. Employees are persons who during a reference period performed some work for wage or salary, in cash or in kind. The volume of labour can be expressed in jobs, in full-time equivalent jobs or in labour hours worked.

Households including NPISH

Households including non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) include:
- Sector households, that consists of all natural persons who are resident for more than one year in the Netherlands, irrespective of their nationality. On the other hand Dutch citizens who stay abroad for longer than one year do not belong to the Dutch sector households.
The sector households does not only cover independently living persons, but also persons in nursing homes, old people’s homes, prisons, boarding schools, etc. If persons are entrepreneurs, their business also belongs to the sector households. This is the case for self-employed persons (one-man business). Large autonomous unincorporated enterprises (quasi-corporations) are included in the sector non-financial or financial corporations.
- Sector non-profit institutions (NPI) serving households, that consists of foundations and clubs whose resources are principally derived from voluntary contributions from households or from property income. Examples are religious organisations, charity organisations, political parties, trade unions and cultural, sports and recreational organisations.

Net mixed income

The operating surplus of family enterprises is called mixed income, because it also contains compensation for work by the owners and their family members.
Net operating surplus / mixed income remains after deducting consumption of fixed capital from gross operating surplus / mixed income.

Net disposable income

Disposable income is the balancing item of the secondary distribution of income account. It shows for each sector its disposable income, which remains after the redistribution of primary income by compulsory or non-compulsory current transfers between the sectors. Total disposable income of all resident units is called disposable national income, which is equal to national income plus net current transfers received from the rest of the world.
Net disposable income remains after deducting consumption of fixed capital from gross disposable income.

Net real disposable income

Disposable income of a sector is the income that remains after redistribution of the primary income by compulsory or non-compulsory current transfers between sectors (taxes on income and capital, social premiums and benefits and other income transfers). Primary income is defined as income from compensation of employees, interest, dividends, taxes and subsidies on production and imports. Disposable income is spent on consumption and free savings.
Real disposable income is disposable income adjusted for the price changes in the consumer expenditure of households (including non-profit institutions serving households).
The percentage change of the real disposable income is calculated on the basis of moving annual totals. The real disposable income of a reporting quarter plus that of the previous three quarters is divided by the sum of real disposable income of the four corresponding quarters a year earlier. The percentage change for the fourth quarter is equal to the change for the year.

Final consumption expenditure

Final consumption expenditure of households including NPI households consists of expenditure incurred by resident institutional units on goods and services that are used for the direct satisfaction of individual needs or wants. Final consumption expenditure may take place on the domestic territory or abroad.

Free / individual savings

The part of the disposable income of sector households including NPISH that is not used for the final consumption expenditure. The sum of the free savings and the balance of capital transfers received is available for capital formation, investments in financial assets or debt repayment.

Savings ratio

The savings ratio equals the gross disposable income, adjusted for the net equity in pension funds reserves, minus the consumption expenditure divided by the gross disposable income, adjusted for the net equity in pension funds reserves.

Gross fixed capital formation

Expenditure for produced tangible or intangible assets that are used in the production process for more than one year.
Households' capital formation mainly consists of dwellings. The residual part includes the capital formation in machinery, transport equipment and the like by self-employed workers and non-profit institutions serving households.
Consumer durables (which also include private cars) are not part of households' capital formation but considered as final consumption expenditure by households.

Households' capital formation ratio

Households' capital formation ratio equals gross household capital formation divided by gross disposable income, adjusted for the net equity in pension funds reserves.

Financial assets

Financial assets of the sector households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH).

Total

Financial assets of the sector households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH).

Savings deposits and other deposits

Savings deposits and other deposits are all the savings of individuals and deposits (in euros and foreign currency) at any resident and non-resident bank, which are not immediately transferable without restrictions. As a liability this transaction only exists for monetary financial institutions and the rest of the world.

Shares and other equities

Shares and other equities are all claims, which are fully or partly entitled to a share in profits or in the own funds in case of liquidation. Included is the value of capital formation by the government in public enterprises (quasi-corporations) that belong to the government.
Shares and other equities include:
- Quoted shares
- Unquoted shares and other equities
- Mutual funds shares

Net equity in life insurance reserves

The net equity of households in the life insurance reserves of resident and non-resident pension funds and life insurance companies is seen as a financial asset that belongs to resident and non-resident households.
The net equity of households in the life insurance reserves is built up as follows:
  actual life insurance contributions (gross)
minus:  compensation of insurance services (=consumption)
plus:  supplement from investment income
=  life insurance contributions
minus:  life insurance benefits
=  net equity of households in life insurance reserves

Net equity in pension funds reserves

The net equity of households in the pension funds reserves of resident pension funds and life insurance companies is seen as a financial asset that belongs to resident and non-resident households.
The net equity of households in the pension funds reserves is built up as follows:
  actual contributions to pension schemes (gross)
minus:  compensation of insurance services (=consumption)
plus:  supplement from investment income
=  contributions to pension schemes
minus:  pension benefits
plus:  imputed capital transfers
=  net equity of households in pension funds reserves

Liabilities

The liabilities of the sector households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH).

Total

The liabilities of the sector households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH).

Home mortgages; closing balance

Total of the home mortgages at the end of the period. These are long-term loans with as collateral the property itself which is occupied by the private person.

Home mortgages; net lending

Acquisitions less disposals of home mortgages in a period. Home mortgages are long-term loans linked to dwellings owned by households. The dwellings serve as collateral.

Labour input of employees

The amount of labour that is deployed by employees in a given period. Employees are persons who during a reference period performed some work for wage or salary, in cash or in kind. The volume of labour can be expressed in jobs, in full-time equivalent jobs or in labour hours worked.

Labour input of self-employed persons

The amount of labour that is deployed by self-employed persons in a specific time period. Self-employed persons are those who earn their income by performing labour on their own (company, profession) or who cooperate in the business of their family. The latter are not counted as self-employed if there is an employment contract.

Rest of the world

In the national accounts the rest of the world is not an institutional sector. The rest of the world covers transactions between resident and non-resident institutional units.

Net exports share

The difference between exports and imports of goods and services as a percentage of gross domestic product.

Net exports

The difference between exports and imports of goods and services.

Net primary income abroad

The difference between the received primary income from the rest of the world and the paid primary income to the rest of the world. Primary income consists of compensation of employees, taxes and subsidies on production and imports, and property income.

Net current transfers abroad

The difference between the received current transfers from the rest of the world and the paid current transfers to the rest of the world. Current transfers are dividend tax, social security benefits and other current transfers.

Net capital transfers abroad

The difference between the received capital transfers from the rest of the world and the paid capital transfers to the rest of the world.
Capital transfers are transactions, either in cash or in kind, in which the ownership of an asset (other than cash and inventories) is transferred from one institutional unit to another, or in which cash is transferred to enable the recipient to acquire another asset, or in which the funds realised by the disposal of another asset are transferred. The receipt of a capital transfer by a recipient is generally meant to finance fixed capital formation or other long-term expenses.
