Production approach to GDP

The composition of GDP from the value added of all economic activities is
provided in this chapter.
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.
