Description topics
- National net lending or net borrowing
- The calculation of the national net lending or net borrowing starting with gross domestic product (GDP). The national financing balance (net lending or net borrowing) is the balance of resources and expenditure on the current account and the capital account of the joint domestic sectors. In the financial account the balance gives the amount new loans are entered into with financial assets abroad and/or are sold (at a deficit) or for any amount to be repaid debts abroad and/or financial assets are purchased (at a surplus). In theory net lending or borrowing equals the change in assets less liabilities. In practice a statistical difference between the two remains.
- Surplus of the nation on income approach
- The approach of net lending or net borrowing through the surplus of national income.
- Adjustm. change in pension entitlements
- Adjustment for net equity in pension funds reserves (surplus of the nation). Generally speaking the adjustment is made to pass changes in pension funds reserves through to household savings. The adjustment equals contributions to pension schemes less pension benefits. To estimate national savings only cross-border adjustments are relevant. The adjustments are also made for reserves of non-resident households who are customers of Dutch insurance companies. Reverse adjustments are necessary for these companies.
- Surplus on current transactions approach
- The net lending (if positive) or borrowing (if negative) of the total economy to / from the rest of the world on current transactions (trade, primary income, current transfers). The surplus of the nation on current transactions is the last item in the use of income account to the rest of the world and consists of: net exports, net primary income from the rest of the world and net current transfers from the rest of the world. The surplus of the nation on current transactions equals the net national savings less the net fixed capital formation.
