Growth accounts; national accounts, 1995-2022
Explanation of symbols
Table explanation
This table presents the outcomes of the Dutch growth accounts. The growth accounts show the contributions of the different production factors to the economic growth. This helps to determine which part of production growth is explained by a change in input of capital (K), labour (L), energy (E), materials (M) or services (S).
The results of the growth accounts also show the contribution of multi-factor productivity. This is the part of economic growth that cannot be attributed to one of the production factors. Disaggregated data, labour and capital productivity are also published in this table. The data on consolidated production and consumption are not available for the years 1995-2014. This is due to the lack of an input-output table with volume changes for these reporting years.
Data available from: 1995 up to and including 2022
Status of the figures:
Data for the reporting years 2021 and 2022 are provisional. Since this table has been discontinued, provisional data will not become final.
Changes as of 20 December 2024:
None. This table has been discontinued.
Statistics Netherlands has carried out a revision of the national accounts. The Dutch national accounts are recently revised. New statistical sources, methods and concepts are implemented in the national accounts, in order to align the picture of the Dutch economy with all underlying source data and international guidelines for the compilation of the national accounts. For further information see section 3.
When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore.
Description topics
- Labour productivity
- The change of consolidated production or value added per unit of labour volume. Labour volume here is the hours worked.
- Based on consolidated production
- Labour productivity change based on consolidated production.
- Labour productivity (2015=100)
- Based on value added
- Labour productivity change based on value added.
- Labour productivity (2015=100)
- Capital productivity
- The volume change of consolidated production or value added per unit of capital.
- Based on consolidated production
- The volume change of consolidated production per unit of capital.
- Capital productivity (2015=100)
- Based on value added
- The volume change of value added per unit of capital.
- Capital productivity (2015=100)
- Consolidated production
- The production less the internal deliveries. The production remaining when a unit (industry, branch, commercial sector) is described as one single company.
- Consolidated production (2015=100)
- Intermediate consumption
- The value of the goods and services consumed as inputs by a process of production, excluding fixed assets whose consumption is recorded as consumption of fixed capital, regardless of the date of purchase. The goods or services may be either transformed or used up by the production process. This includes for example fuel, raw materials, semi manufactured goods, communication services, cleansing services and audits by accountants.
The use of fixed assets (industrial structures, machinery, personal traffic equipment) is registered as depreciation, not as intermediate consumption. Purchased goods that are sold without modification are not part of intermediate consumption. The total expenditure to goods and services consists of intermediate consumption together with the final expenditure. Intermediate consumption less internal deliveries is the consolidated intermediate consumption.- Consolidated (2015=100)
- Consolidated intermediate consumption 2015=100
- Total
- Intermediate consumption less internal deliveries. Intermediate consumption can be subdivided to energy, materials and services. The consolidated intermediate consumption is the intermediate consumption when a unit (branch, industry or commercial sector) is described as one single company.
- Consumption of energy
- Intermediate consumption of energy products less the internal deliveries of energy products. Besides products produced by energy and drinking water companies energy products also entails sources of energy like coals, (crude and processed) oil and gas. The consolidated energy consumption is the energy consumption when a unit (branch, industry or commercial sector) is described as one single company.
- Consumption of materials
- Intermediate consumption of materials less the internal consumption of materials. Consolidated consumption of materials is the consumption of materials when a unit (industry, branch or commercial sector) is described as one single company.
- Consumption of services
- Intermediate consumption of services less the internal consumption of services. Consolidated consumption of services is the consumption of services when a unit (industry, branch or commercial sector) is described as one single company.
- Value added
- Measured in basic prices. The difference between production (basic prices) and intermediate consumption (purchaser's prices).
- Value added (2015=100)
- Labour
- Labour compensation of both employees and self employed as the value component and hours worked and labour composition as volume components. Labour composition is only shown in the growths accounts selections for value added and production.
- Compensation of labour (2015=100)
- Wages of employees and social contributions paid by employers and an attributed share of labour compensation for the self-employed, less the subsidies on wages provided by the government.
- Capital services
- The most important types of capital are included in the growth accounts. The capital stocks are included, as are the oil and natural gas reserves. In addition inventories, agricultural land and land underlying buildings are included. The value of capital services is equal to the costs of capital services, these costs are known as the user costs of capital. Conceptually these user costs are best comparable to the rental price of the capital goods. Normally the user costs of capital consists of four parts, namely the depreciation, the (attributed) interest cost, the balance of taxes and subsidies on the use of capital and the revaluation of losses and profits. When prices of capital goods increase, the resulting valuation profits need to be subtracted of the user costs of capital goods. Contrarily, when prices decrease the user costs increase.
- Capital services (2015 = 100)
- Capital services (2015=100)
- The productive inputs, per period, that flow to production from a capital asset.
- Capital services hours worked (2015=100)
- The productive inputs, per period per hour worked, that flow to production from a capital asset.
- ICT capital services (2015=100)
- The productive inputs, per period, that flow to production from ICT capital assets. The ICT category consists of computers, communications equipment and software and databases.
- non ICT captal services (2015=100)
- The productive inputs, per period, that flow to production from a capital asset other than the ICT category. This aggregate also includes net taxes and subsidies on capital.
- Capital services neoclassical (2015=100)
- The productive inputs, per period, that flow to production from a capital asset. These services are calculated by assuming zero profits exist within an industry, thereby designating the entire net operating surplus as a remuneration for capital.
- Production factors
- Production factors in the growth accounts consist of labour, capital and intermediate consumption when the output is production. If output is value added the production factors are labour and capital.
- Total production factors (2015=100)
- Total input KLEMS
- The total deployment of the production factors capital, labour, energy, materials and services in the production process (KLEMS is an acronym for capital, labour, materials, energy and services).
- Total input capital and labour
- The total deployment of the production factors capital and labour in the production process.
