National accounts 2009; Macroeconomic data
Explanation of symbols
Table explanation
This publication is a summary of the national accounts. It contains
macroeconomic data and concise information about the production process,
the sector accounts and the labour market. More details about these
subjects can be found in the tables mentioned under the third heading in
this explanation: "links to relevant tables and articles".
The subjects of the publication give a specification of the most important
mocroeconomic totals. These macroeconomic transactions can also be found in
the chapter Macroeconomics in the printed publication National accounts of
the Netherlands.Well-known macroeconomic data are: Gross Domestic Product
(GDP), volume change of GDP (economic growth) and national income.
The subjects in the publication are structured as follows:
- macroeconomic balancing
- structure macroeconomic balancing
- macroeconomic classifications
The data can be selected as follows:
- Current prices, mln euro
- Volume changes, %
- Volume-indices, 2000 = 100
- Constant prices, at prices of 2000, mln euro
- Deflators: % changes
- Deflators: indices 2000 = 100
- Labour input, 1 000 full-time equivalent jobs
- Labour productivity, 1 000 euro
In 2005 the national accounts have been revised for the reporting year 2001
in accordance with the conceptual changes in the international guidelines
of the European Union (ESA 1995). This revision also incorporated new
statistical insights and new sources.
This table has been discontinued. Data are available from:
1969 up and until 2009
Reason discontinuation:
The national accounts have adapted the new classification of economic
activities, NACE Rev. 2. Furthermore, tables have been restructured to
improve their clarity.
Description topics
- Structure macroeconomic balancing
- This selection presents the macroeconomic balancing, such as
domestic product, national income and national net lending or
net borrowing.- Domestic product
- Domestic product (market prices) equals the sum of value added of
industries (basic prices), balance of taxes and subsidies on
products.
Gross includes consumption of fixed capital while net excludes
consumption of fixed capital.- From the output
- Output (basic prices)
- Output (basic prices) 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.
- Intermediate consumption (-)
- Intermediate consumption includes all goods and services used
up in the production process in the accounting period, regardless
the date of purchase. This includes for example fuel, raw materials,
semimanufactured goods, communication services, cleansing
services and audits by accountants.
- Value added (gross, basic prices)
- Value added at basic prices by industry is equal to the
difference between output (basic prices) and intermediate
consumption (purchasers' prices). Gross includes consumption
of fixed capital while net excludes consumption of fixed capital.
- Difference imputed and paid VAT
- Imputed VAT differs from VAT actually paid to the
government. This is due to acquittals, bad debts, fines, the
Regulation for small entrepreneurs and VAT evasion.
- DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GROSS, MARKET PRICES)
- Domestic product (market prices) equals the sum of value added
of industries (basic prices), balance of taxes and subsidies on
products.
Gross includes consumption of fixed capital while net excludes
consumption of fixed capital.
- Macroeconomic classifications
- This selection presents a specification of the most
important macroeconomic balancing by sector,
industry etc. The total economy can be selected in
for instance the selection "Macroeconomic balancing".

The standardisation of the classifications in the
National accounts is laid down in international
guidelines.
Some macroeconomic classifications can also be found in
the macroseries and explanations in the publication National
accounts of the Netherlands.- Output (basic prices)
