6. Previous revisions

The table below shows the effects of previous revisions of the Dutch national accounts on GDP and GNI. The adjustments in the revision for reporting year 1977 were entirely due to the use of new and revised statistics. The revision for reporting year 1987 can also be attributed almost entirely to realignment with source data. The reason for the revision for reporting year 1995 was the implementation of ESA 1995 (new rules). This meant a considerable change for the Dutch national accounts.

In the revision for reporting year 2001 a limited number of conceptual changes were made. Principal amongst these were the inclusion of the Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) in the national accounts and the allocation of financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM) to users. The details of this revision can be found in the publication entitled National Accounts 2004, Revision 2001.

ESA 2010 guidelines were implemented during the revision over reporting year 2010. In addition, the source situation was changed fundamentally compared to 2001 through the increased use of administrative data in economic statistics of CBS. This is reflected in the 2010 revision. The details of this revision can be found in the publication entitled National Accounts Revision 2010.

During the revision for the 2015 reporting year, the CBS rest of the world account and the DNB balance of payments were fully aligned. Several new or modified sources have also been used in the national accounts and various conceptual changes have also been introduced. The details of this revision can be found in the publication entitled National Accounts Revision 2015.
