Table explanation
This table provides an overview of the non-financial transactions of the institutional sectors of the Dutch economy, distinguishing between uses and resources. Non-financial transactions consist of current transactions and transactions from the capital account. Furthermore, this table provides the main balancing items of the (sub)sectors.
Non-financial transactions are estimated for the main institutional sectors of the economy and the rest of the world.
Sectors are presented both consolidated and non-consolidated.

Description topics
- Resources
- Resources are transactions add to the economic value of sectors.
- Output
- The ensemble of goods and services produced. Also called production. Three types of output are distinguished:
- market output: goods and services sold at a market or intended for sale at a market
- the own-account production of all goods that are retained by their producers for their own final consumption or gross fixed capital formation.
- non-market output: goods and services delivered for free or at economically non-significant prices to other units
Output is valued at basic prices. These are the prices experienced by the producers: product-related taxes have been subtracted from the original prices, subsidies haven been added to them. Costs of transportation, when charged separately by the producer, are not included. Changes in the values of financial and non-financial assets during the reference period are not included either.
Included is the output by all kind-of-activity units residing in the Netherlands, including those that are held by foreign owners. The kind-of-activity units include general government units and other non-commercial units.- Market output
- Market output consists of output that is disbursed of on the market or intended to be disbursed of on the market. Market output includes:
- products sold at economically significant prices;
- products bartered;
- products used for payments in kind, including compensation of employees in kind and mixed income in kind;
- products supplied by one local Kind-of-activity unit to another within the same institutional unit to be used as intermediate inputs or for final uses;
- products added to the inventories of finished goods and work-in-progress intended for one or other of the above uses (including natural growth of animal of vegetable products and uncompleted structures for which the buyer is unknown).- Financial intermediation service (FISIM)
- The concept of imputed bank services encompasses the remuneration for financial services which are not paid for directly. This remuneration is included in the actual interest paid or received. In the national accounts this indirect remuneration is specified as financial intermediation service charge indirectly measured.
The size of the imputed bank services is determined on the basis of a ‘reference rate’. This reference rate equals the rate of the interbank loans. The difference between the reference rate and the actual interest paid to depositors or the actual interest received from borrowers is the indirectly measured financial intermediation service charge. The actual interest paid and received is corrected for these imputed bank services.
- Compensation of employees
- The compensation of employees is the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an employer to an employee in return for work done by the latter during an accounting period. The compensation of employees is equal to the sum of wages and salaries and employers' social contributions.
- Employers' social contributions
- Employers’ social contributions are social contributions payable by employers to social security schemes or other employment-related social insurance schemes to secure social benefits for their employees. Employer’s social contributions may be either actual or imputed. As set out by the ESA 2010, pay over periods in which no work is done due to illness or bad weather is registered as part of employers’ social contributions.
- Social contributions and benefits
- Social contributions and benefits are transfers to households, in cash or in kind, intended to relieve them from the financial burden of a number of risks or needs, made through collectively organised schemes, or outside such schemes by government units and NPISHs; they include payments from general government to producers which individually benefit households and which are made in the context of social risks or needs.
Social benefits are transfers to households, intended to relieve them from the financial burden of a number of risks or needs, such as sickness, invalidity, disability, old age, survivors and unemployment.- Total
- Net social contributions
- Social contributions include social security contributions, private social contributions (among which contributions to pension schemes) and imputed social contributions. Employers, employees, self-employed persons and non-active persons pay these contributions. Actually, the employers' part is paid directly to the insurers. However, in the national accounts, the employers' contributions are supposed to be part of primary income of households (i.e. the income from direct participation in the production process). Therefore, in first instance these contributions are treated as payments by employers to households as compensation of employees, who are deemed to pay them to the insurers in the income account.
- Total
- Employers' actual social contributions
- Payments by emplyers, enforced by laws or (collective) labour agreement, in order to make social benefits possible.
- Employers' imputed social contributions
- Imputed social contributions represent the counterpart to the 'unfunded employee social benefits' (less any employees’ social contributions) paid directly by employers to their (former) employees. It is necessary to introduce this imputation because the direct payments are recorded twice. Firstly they are recorded as employers’ social contributions (part of the compensation of employees). Secondly they are recorded as social benefits.
- Households' actual social contributions
- Households' actual social contributions are social contributions payable on their own behalf by employees, self-employed or non-employed persons to social insurance schemes.
- Households' social contrib. supplements
- Households' social contribution supplements consist of the property income earned during the accounting period on the stock of pension and non-pension entitlements.
- The social insur. scheme service charges
- The social insurance scheme service charges are the service fees charged by the units administering the schemes. They appear here as part of the calculation for net social contributions; they are not redistributive transactions but part of output and consumption expenditure.
- Social benefits in cash
- Social benefits other than social transfers in kind is made up of three sub-headings:
- social security benefits in cash
- other social insurance benefits
- social assistance benefits in cash.- Total
- Social security benefits in cash
- Social security benefits are paid by social security funds, in the field of unemployment, disability, sickness, old age etc.
- Other social insurance benefits
- Other private social insurance benefits are benefits paid by employers out of special reserves, which are segregated from their other reserves.
- Social assistance benefits in cash
- Social assistance benefits are payments of the central and local government to households, for which no quid pro quo by the beneficiary is expected. These benefits are based on a number of Dutch laws, such as the Act on Labour and Social Assistance.
