INTRODUCTION In any economy a number of transactions are taking place on a daily basis.

Imports are arriving, exports are being sent abroad.

These transactions need to be organized in a systematic way.

The System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA) is used to organize and measure these transactions.
It is the basic international standard for compilation of national accounts, adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission in 1993 and endorsed by the Economic and Social Council.

It is a comprehensive, consistent and flexible set of macro-economic accounts to meet the needs of government and private sector analysts, policy makers and decision makers.

It is designed for use in all countries, whatever their economic, social and institutional arrangements and stage of economic development are.
The Dominica System of National Accounts is based on the 1993 SNA.

However, presently the national accounts framework, does not comprise of the entire set of integrated macroeconomic accounts, but follows the set of internationally accepted concepts, definitions, classification, and accounting rules in its compilation of the basic accounts.
The accounts prepared includes the compilation of the basic measure of output arising from the economic activity and expenditure taking place within the economy and between different economic agents in constant prices and its related indicators.

However Output, Intermediate Consumption and Value Added are available in current prices.

The Supply and Use tables are also compiled for the year 2005.
The national accounts are an essential tool for analyzing, monitoring and evaluating the performance of the economy.

The accounts are compiled relative to a base year which should be updated periodically due to structural changes in the economy.

It is widely acknowledged that the structure of the Dominican economy has changed significantly since 1990, the last base year.

There have been substantial shifts in the industrial composition particularly a shift from agriculture into services.
As a result, in 2005, the Dominica Central Statistical Office (CSO) embarked on an exercise to rebase its system of National Accounts from base year 1990 to a more recent base year.

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) and the Caribbean Regional Technical Assistance (CARTAC) provided technical assistance in the rebasing of the national accounts.
The revision process included the inclusion of new and revised data into the estimates, the revision of the national accounts classification of industries and the rebasing of the constant prices from 1990 to 2006.

The new series is very comprehensive and uses ISIC Rev.

3.1 for classification of GDP by Economic Activity.
It provides estimates of value added for sub-groups, especially services that were not accurately captured in the previous series The data used in the compilation of the national accounts were obtained from different sources such as surveys and administrative records from the govemment, private establishments and individuals.
The National Accounts Statistics - 2009 I8BINTRODUCTION 3 primary source of data used in the majority of the industries was the annual National Accounts Survey of Economic Activity (NAS).

This survey provided information on employment and financial operations of businesses and organizations operating in Dominica.

The survey data were collected from establishments in the Business Register that is maintained and updated by the CSO.
Other major sources included the External Trade Statistics provided by the Customs Department and the CSO, administrative data from the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Department, Government Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Production Statistics, Balance of Payments (BOP), and Household Expenditure Surveys.
Additional information was also obtained from the Dominica Social Security (DSS) and the Registrar of Companies on employment and number of establishments which were used to adjust the series to account for under coverage.

The estimates were produced by economically and statistically sound procedures and by trained staff of the Central Statistical Office.

The CSO compiled the national accounts with technical assistance from the ECCB and CARTAC.
A Consultant worked with the staff from the development of the framework to the actual production of the statistics.

Data received from sources were validated and cross-checked for consistency of information.

Also, data were utilized from the Supply and Use Tables (SUT) as a check on the reliability of the national accounts data.

Data for previous years were collected from administrative sources to validate previous years' reported data.
In cases where there were low response rates from the surveys, additional information was gathered from other administrative sources.

4 8BINTRODUCTIONI National Accounts Statistics- 2009 II.

RESULTS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW REBASED SERIES In order to allow comparisons to be made between countries of measures of growth in the national accounts estimates, it is practical to express the series with respect to a common base year.
In the course of time, the pattern of relative prices of the base period becomes less relevant to the economic situation of later periods, to the point where it becomes unacceptable to continue using the base year prices to derive volume changes from one later period to the next.

It is then necessary to update the base year period.

A very old base year diminishes the relevance and accuracy of the estimates.
Box 1: Why Rebase the GOP Series A change in GOP results from the contribution of two changes, one being the change in the volume of goods and services produced, and the other in the price at which they are sold.

GOP at current prices reflects both these changes, as production of the period is measured at the prices of that period.

GOP at constant prices on the other hand reflects only the changes in the volume of production.
This indicator measures production of the period at the price of the base year 2006.

The assumption that the relative prices of the components of value added do not change over time is inherent in the construction of constant price aggregates.
However in a dynamic economy, relative prices constantly change as a result of shifts in the production structure and consumption patterns, technological developments in different industries, variations in productivity as well as the appearance of new products and the disappearance of old ones.
Thus, as the pattern of relative those recorded for the GOP base period become prices in an economy changes over time, progressively less relevant for calculating volume measures of output from one period to the next; it may then be necessary to update the base year period, a process that is commonly referred to as "rebasing" in national accounting.
The rebasing exercise not only revalues GOP at prices prevailing in the new base year, but also serves to reconcile and revise the production and expenditure based estimates of GDP at current prices; and provides the occasion for methodological and conceptual reviews and improvements, as well as the incorporation of new and improved data sources.
Rebasing enables the national accounts to capture the real picture of the economy by taking account of factors, such as relative price movements, and structural changes in production and consumption patterns, which over time may contribute to an under or over estimation of GOP.
innovations and developments Additionally, the introduction of new products due to technological (e.g., cell phones and internet usage); changes in the variety of products and services (e.g., introduction of private and public education and health services); and changes in international statistical methodologies and classifications provide a compelling case for rebasing Dominica's national accounts.
The rebasing exercise involved the calculation of value added using prices of a more recent period; and also provided an opportunity for benchmarking the GOP estimates to facilitate wider coverage and greater accuracy through updated intermediate consumption to gross output ratios.
The rebasing exercise has led to significant improvements in the revised GOP current and constant price series, arising from broader data coverage (by employing a wider range of data sources, including economic surveys and administrative data), conceptual changes (notably the application of financial intermediation services National Accounts Statistics - 20091 9BRESULTS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW REBASED SERIES 5 indirectly measured, FISIM; measurement of private education and measurement of the output of owner occupied housing), methodological changes (integrated output, intermediate consumption and value added for all industries) and improved estimation procedures (including the use of better extrapolation or deflation techniques for the GOP constant price series).
The calculation of value added in an integrated framework-gross output, intermediate consumption and value added for all industries-represent a marked improvement on the current estimates, which in some cases, were derived as the movement in historical value added by price and volume measures.

The improvement was facilitated by the availability of comprehensive national accounts surveys, supply and use table (SUT) and household budget surveys (HSS).
The SUT directly informed the compilation of integrated production accounts.

The HSS results were used in validating supply-based estimates of production.

Statistical enquiries were undertaken to improve the scope of the industry-based estimates (e.g., other crops, fishing, land and sea transportation).
Administrative data from revenue agencies were also used, mainly to supplement the coverage of survey-based results for industries such as hotels and restaurants, manufacturing, construction and wholesale and retail trade.

While the intermediate consumption for construction was recalculated to take account of a larger number of building materials, and of services used in construction.
Regarding industrial classifications, the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) Revision 3.1 was implemented as recommended by the ECGS.

Education and health and social work are now identified as separate industries, and the public components of these services, formerly included under government, have now been reclassified.

The offshore university activities were previously not captured, however, these activities are now reflected in the new series as part of private education.
Though it is common knowledge that ideally the base year should be a "normal" year, which is theoretically characterized as having a relatively stable economy, this consideration in practice is not very easy to tell, since prices of hundreds of items must be taken into account.

Under ideal conditions, however, the base period chosen would be one in which sharp fluctuations in prices in underlying economic conditions would be minimal.
The choice of the base year is also dictated by the available data sources such as establishment and household censuses and surveys, price indices and other data needed for benchmark estimates.

Among the OECS member states, 2006 was selected for the base year, because it seemed to be the most normal year, since Grenada was affected by hurricane Ivan in September 2004 and St. Kitts and Nevis economy was affected by the closure of the sugar industry in 2005.
6 9BRESULTS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW REBASED SERIESINational Accounts Statistics- 2009 Box 2: The Key Features of the Rebased Series • • • • • • • • • • • The level of the GOP has expanded significantly.

Dominica's GOP in current market prices is now significantly higher than the previous series, averaging 32.4 percent higher over the years 2000 to 2009.
The new GOP series has also revealed a slightly higher level of real growth, which averaged 1.79 percent over the period 2001 to 2009 compared to 0.68 percent in the previous series.

The composition of the economic sectors has changed, owing to both the change in the structure of the economy and the improved accounting of economic activities in all sectors of the economy.
The industry classification for the national accounts has been revised and it is now in line with the United Nations International Standard International Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC Rev, 3.1).

The revision has resulted in a shift of some industries to a different estimation group.

For example, health, education and social development formerly classified under government are now separated and expanded to include private sector activities.
ManUfacturing now reflects the use of an expanded coverage of prodUcts and the activities and air and sea ports are now shown under auxiliary transport activities.

The new series is very comprehensive.

The level of detail of the value added estimates presented has It provides more estimates for services not previously captured.

For been significantly increased.


example it is now possible to determine the gross value added for business services, computer and related services as well as private households with employed persons.

New estimation techniques based on implementation of the 1993 SNA are now being used to compile GOP estimates.

One significant methodological change concerns financial intermediation services intermediation by the economy is now indirectly measured (FISIM), where the use of accounted for.
The current approach is to deduct FISIM in a single line item for the entire economy, but the CSO will endeavor to allocate FISIM to the various industries.

financial The GDP estimates incorporated the activities of the informal sector, as much as possible especially wholesale and retail trade and construction based on the improved methods of estimation used.
The rebuilt national accounts system allows for an integrated production account of gross output, intermediate consumption and value added; and employs to the best extent possible the 1993 SNA gUidelines.

New data sources were established which improved the coverage of economic activities within the economy.
In compiling the GDP at constant prices, the single indicator method is mainly used, which is the direct extrapolation of base year value added by a volume index of gross output; this represents a marked improvement on existing practices.

Timely and reliable indicators of new activities were explored and adopted for the constant prices estimates.
The intermediate consumption and value added ratios now better reflect the reality, as they are based on updated information derived from the National Accounts Survey (NAS), and other statistical enquiries.

the estimation of Detailed recompiled constant price estimates have been established, using relevant price indices to deflate current price values in order to generate volume estimates.

These price indices reflect the updated structure of the economy and relative prices of the new base year.
The current price estimates have also been revised and improved.

In summary the rebasing exercise, led to improved coverage, data sources and methodology.

All these changes were incorporated into the accounts.

This category covers the activities of road, sea and air transport, auxiliary transport activities and storage and communications.

Both the communications and road transport sub-categories contributed to this increase.

Based on revisions to the methodology and the incorporation of new and revised data sources, the value added in 2009 increased from EC$ 101.77 million in the previous series to EC$ 151.67 million in the new rebased series.
Education which formed part of the government services in the previous series is now a separate industry and is the second largest contributor to the GDP, mainly as a result of the private education institutions.

Agriculture, which covers the activities of banana and other crops production, livestock, forestry and fishing, has slipped from a contribution of 18.1 per cent in the previous series to the third largest industry in the rebased series with a contribution of 13.5 per cent.
Wholesale and retail trade which was among the largest contributors in the previous series is now ranked fourth in the rebased series.

National Accounts Statistics - 20091 9BRESULTS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW REBASED SERIES 9 Real estate, renting and business services industry forms the fifth largest contributor to the gross value added.

This industry covers the activities of owner occupied dwellings which is the main contributor to this sub-group.
This activity was grossly underestimated in the previous series, with a contribution of 3.45 compared to 10.65 per cent contribution in the rebased series.
The contribution of public administration and defense, which now includes social security, has been reduced significantly from 19.8 per cent in the previous series to 8.4 per cent in the rebased series..This is due to a change in the classification, where public health, education and social services are now excluded from public administration and defense and shown as separate industries.
The contributions of financial intermediation and FISIM have also been reduced from 11.7 per cent and 8.47 per cent respectively to 7.39 per cent and 3.48 per cent.

This mainly resulted from a methodological change in the estimation of FISIM and the output of the Financial Intermediation in line with the recommendations of the 1993 SNA.

The contribution of construction moved from 10.50 per cent in the previous series to 4.98 per cent in the new rebased series.
Manufacturing contribution has declined from 6.19 to 4.25 per cent.

The rebased series has implications for other economic statistics.

The table" 2.1 below shows how the revisions to the GOP series have impacted on various key macro-economic variables.

The per capita GOP at current market prices increased, on average by 26.0 per cent between 2000 and 2009, when comparing the previous GOP estimates with the new rebased estimates.
In 2009 only, the per capita GOP at current market prices increased from EC$ 13,995.00 in the previous series to EC$ 17,407.69 or 24.38 per cent in the rebased series.

The current account balance from the BOP statistics records the net position of Dominica in relation to the trade in goods and services with other countries, plus net income from abroad and net transfers from overseas.
Added to this, the sizeable yearly negative balances indicate that the value of our imports is much higher than the exports.

As a percentage of GDP at market prices, the current account balance has changed moderately using the old and new GOP data series.

In fact, the percentage average (2000 - 2009) changed from 22.6 percent in the prior series to 18.0 percent in the rebased series.

KEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS The following notes, concepts and definitions are presented here in order to facilitate an understanding of the statistical tables presented in this publication.

OUTPUT Output measures the value of goods and services produced within an establishment that become available for use outside that establishment.
There are three types of output: (i) (ii) (iii) Market output Output for own final use Other non-market output (1) Market output consists of (a) Products sold at economically significant prices (b) (c) (d) Products bartered Products used for payments in kind (wages in kind etc.)

Intra-company transfers of product (i.e.


the value of goods and services supplied by one establishment to another within the same enterprise, to be used as intermediate inputs) (e) Changes in inventories of work-in-progress and finished goods, referred to as stock investment (2) Output for own final use consists of (a) (b) Own-account capital formation Households production of products for own final consumption.
These include • • Production of goods for own final consumption Services of paid domestic staff Services of owner-occupied dwellings (3) Other non-market output: This consists of output that is provided free or at economically non-significant prices to other units.

This includes most of the output of the government sector and non-profit institutions serving households (NPI).
INTERMEDIATE CONSUMPTION This consists of non-durable goods and services purchased by producers and used up as inputs in the process of production.

It does not include goods and services produced within the establishment and fed back as inputs into production within the same establishment.

Non-durable goods are defined as goods NationalAccOImts Statistics - 2009110BKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS 13 having an expected lifetime of use of less than a year.
Intermediate consumption goods are valued in purchasers' prices.

In practice, intermediate consumption is estimated as the sum of purchases of inputs less changes in inventories of inputs.

Problems sometimes arise in differentiating intermediate consumption from compensation of employees and gross capital formation.
Box 3: Valuation of Goods and Services Basic price is the amount receivable by the producer from the purchaser for a unit of a good less any tax payable, plus any subsidy receivable on that unit as a or service produced, It excludes any transport charges invoiced separately consequence of its production or sale.

by the producer.

Producer's price is the amount receivable by the producer for a unit of a good or service produced, less any VAT invoiced to the purchaser.
It excludes any transport charges invoiced separately by the producer.

Purchasers' price is the amount paid by the purchaser, excluding any deductible VAT or similar deductible tax, in order to take delivery of a unit of a good or service at the time and It includes any transport charges paid separately by the place required by the purchaser.

purchaser to take delivery at the required time and place VALUATION OF ITEMS USED IN COMPILING THE ACCOUNTS 1.

Output is valued at basic prices 2.


Intermediate consumption is valued at purchasers' prices 3.

Private and government final consumption expenditure are valued at purchasers' prices.

Private final consumption expenditure has been estimated as the residual of the GOP after the deduction of: a.

Net exports of goods and services; b.

Government final consumption expenditure and gross capital formation.

4.

Gross capital formation consists of gross fixed capital formation and changes in inventories.
Gross fixed capital formation and changes in inventories have been valued at purchaser's prices.

14 lOBKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONSI National Accounts Statistics- 2009 Changes in inventories are measured by the value of the entries into inventories less the value of withdrawals and the value of any recurrent losses of goods held in inventories.

5.

Imports are valued at f.o.b.

(free on board) as in the balance of payment statistics.

This consists of the c.i.f.


price less the costs of transportation and insurance charges between the customs frontier of the exporting country and that of the importing country.

6.

Exports are valued f.o.b., which is defined as the cost of the goods to the purchaser abroad including packing, inland transport, loading charges and all other costs occurring up to the point where goods are deposited on board the exporting vessel or aircraft.

It is a measure of the increased or newly created value generated by the production process in question, gross of any capital used up in the production process.

FIGURE 2: DERIVATION OF GROSS VALUE-ADDED Gross Output Intermediate Consumption Gross Value Added FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION SERVICES INDIRECTLY MEASURED (FISIM) In computing the gross domestic product for the total economy, an adjustment is made for financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM).
FISIM is measured as the total property income receivable by financial intermediaries minus their total interest payable, excluding the value of any property income receivable from the investment of their own funds; as such income does not arise from financial intermediation.

FISIM must be recorded as being disposed of in one or more of the following ways - as intermediate consumption by enterprises, as final consumption by households or as exports to non residents.
GROSS VALUE ADDED AT BASIC PRICES This pertains to the value of all goods and services produced in an economy within a given time period of usually one year.

It is equal to the sum of compensation of employees, consumption of fixed capital, taxes less subsidies on production and operating surplus.

An over-riding consideration on measuring the value of a country's gross domestic product is that duplication must be avoided.
Duplication is avoided by deducting from the output of each producing unit the value of the inputs of goods and services that it has received "from other units, at home or abroad.

16 10BKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONSj National Accounts Statistics- 2009 FIGURE 3: COMPONENTS OF GROSS DOMES1"IC PRODUCT ...
Consumption of fixed capital is not deducted • Output measured consists of what is produced within the economic territory/country • Describes what is measured: the results of production GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT AT MARKET PRICES This is equal to the sum of the gross value added of all resident producers, plus taxes on imports, and all non-deductible VAT or similar taxes less subsidies.
GROSS NATIONAL INCOME AT MARKET PRICES Gross national income at market prices is the value of the goods and services produced by the labour and capital supplied by residents of a country.

It is derived by adding net income from the rest of the world to GOP at market prices.

GNI is identical to GNP as was used previously in National Accounts.
NET INCOME FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD This is defined as the sum of two major components - net compensation of employees, and net property and entrepreneurial income.

Net compensation of employees covers the labour income for residents abroad and non-residents in the country.

Net property and entrepreneurial income covers investment income from ownership of foreign financial claims such as interest and dividends.

The entrepreneurial income of foreign investment in a country, i.e.
profits and dividends could be remitted to foreign countries or left unremitted.

The unremitted portion is always treated as reinvested eamings.
National Accounts Statistics -1009jlOBKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS 17 LABOUR INCOME AND WORKERS' REMITTANCES It should be noted that there is a distinction between those individuals whose earnings are to be classified as labour income (persons who are not residents of the economy where they work) and migrants (persons who have become residents of that economy by virtue of being expected to live there for a year or more).

This distinction is often hard to make in practice.
Data for these items are generally obtained from the balance of payments accounts, where migrants' income is classified as workers' remittances under current transfers and labour income is classified as compensation of employees in the income account.

NATIONAL ACCOUNTS AT CONSTANT PRICES For analytical purposes, the national accounts at constant prices are derived by breaking current values down into a price component and quantity component.
Estimates at constant prices are usually derived by deflating the current output values by price indices or by extrapolating base year values by appropriate volume indices.

Both are equivalent to expressing current period quantities at base period prices.

METHODOLOGY OF ESTIMATING GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT The value added can be estimated by three different approaches, which are generally called the production approach, the income approach and the expenditure approach.
The production approach is designed to evaluate the value of output.

The value added is estimated by deducting intermediate consumption from the value of output.

The production approach is useful for estimation of gross value added for the commodity producing sectors, viz, agriculture, livestock, forestry, fishing and mining.
The income approach is used to estimate the value added by aggregating compensation of employees, taxes less subsidies on production, operating surplus and consumption of fixed capital.

This approach is also referred to as the cost approach since it looks at the costs incurred by the producer within the establishment.

It is most commonly used in the case of seNice sectors, since data on gross output and intermediate consumption in the seNice sectors may not be readily available.
The expenditure approach is used to estimate the gross domestic product according to categories of final use.

This consists of estimates of expenditure of households' final consumption, consumption expenditure of government, private non-profit seNices seNing households and gross capital formation adjusted for imports and exports of goods and seNices.
18 10BKEY CONCEPTS MD DEFINITIONSINational Accounts Statistics- 2009 COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEES This is defined to include all payments by resident producers of wages and salaries to their employees in cash and in kind, and of contributions, paid or imputed in respect of their employees, to social security schemes and to private pensions, family allowance, casualty insurance, life insurance and similar schemes.
Wages and Salaries This is defined to include all payments that employees receive in respect of their work whether in cash or in kind, and before deductions to social security, income tax, etc.

Included are: a) Commissions, overtime payments b) Tips c) Bonuses d) Cost-of-Iiving and deamess allowances e) Fees to ministers of religion f) Fees to members of board of directors g) Holiday and paid vacation or sick leave Also included is the cost to the employer of providing food, lodging, ordinary clothing etc.
either free of cost or at a markedly reduced cost that is of clear and direct benefit to the employees as consumers.

Excluded from wages and salaries is expenditure by employers which is of benefit to both the employees and employers.

Examples of these are outlays on: a) Medical examinations b) Sporting and other recreational facilities c) Amenities at place of work d) Reimbursement of expenses for travel and entertainment e) Reimbursement of expenses or provision of uniforms, tools and equipment.
Employer'S contribution to Social Security Schemes This is the amount payable by employers to social security schemes for the benefit of their employees.

Employer's contribution to Private Pension Funds and other pensions This is defined as contributions to private funds, reserves or other special schemes in respect of family allowances, lay-off and severance pay, casualties and maternity leave and pensions.
The System of National Accounts (SNA) states that if in the absence of special schemes of reserves, employers make National Accounts Statistics - 2009110BKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS 19 direct payments of this type to their employees, imputed contributions in respect of these obligations should Je included in the employer's contribution to private schemes.
)PERATING SURPLUS OR MIXED INCOME fhis is equivalent to the excess of value added at the producers' prices over the sum of compensation of he employees, taxes less subsidies on production and imports and allowances for the consumption of 'ixed capital.

If a strict income approach to estimation value added is used, operating surplus is estimated jirectly and value added is estimated as the sum of its elements.
If a combination of the production and ncome approaches to estimation is used, value added is computed as the difference between gross output 3nd intermediate consumption and operating surplus is calculated as the residual between value added 3nd its other components.

Operating surplus is simply the sum of net profits and property income.
It is the surplus or deficit from production before taking into account interest and land rents payable by the establishments, as any non-allowable items such as bad debts, donations, miscellaneous provisions and :::apital items written off as current expense.

Mixed income is similarly defined but contains an element of remuneration for the work done by the owners and households of unincorporated businesses.
When estimates of the operating surplus of establishments are derived from data on profits shown in the accounts of enterprises, care has to be taken to adjust these data, as necessary, to the national accounts' definition.

If the figures from the accounts of enterprises relate to profits before taxes, it is necessary to adjust them to ,remove property incomes, transfers paid and received and capital gains and losses reflected in the figures.
CONSUMPTION OF FIXED CAPITAL This is defined as the value at current replacement cost of the reproducible fixed assets used up during a period of account as a result of normal wear and tear, foreseen obsolescence and the normal rate of accidental damage.

However, unforeseen obsolescence, major catastrophes and the depletion of natural resources are not included in consumption of fixed capital.
TAXES ON PRODUCTION AND IMPORTS These are defined as compulsory, unrequited payments to government, which industries treat as part of the cost of production.

The SNA 93 no longer uses the term "indirect taxes".

Indirect taxes have been renamed "taxes on production and imports".

They do not include direct taxes on the income or wealth of enterprises.
Taxes on production and imports consist of the following two groups: 1) Taxes on Products Tax usually payable per unit of specific goods and services 20 lOBKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONSI National Accounts Statistics- 00 i.

Production tax/excise duties: Include excise duties on rum, beer, cigarettes and soft drinks ii.

iii.

Taxes on exports.

Other taxes on products: Other taxes on specific goods and services, e.g.

hotel occupancy tax and entertainment tax.


2) Other Taxes on Production Taxes that establishments incur as a result of engaging in production but which are not directly tied to specific goods and services Property taxes Business and professional licenses Other taxes and licenses: Include stamp duties, vehicle taxes and licenses.

i. ii.

iii.

SUBSIDIES These are grants on the current account made by government to private industries and public corporations.
They also comprise grants made by the public authorities to government enterprises in compensation for operating losses when these losses are clearly the consequences of the policy of the government to maintain prices at a level below cost of production.
Any government grants to producers which are not connected with their productive activities but are given to them in the capacity of customers, such as social assistance grants and social security benefits, should be treated as current transfers and not as subsidies.

GOVERNMENT FINAL CONSUMPTION This is defined as the value of gross output of producers of government services less the value of its commodity and non-commodity sales and the value of its own-account capital formation.
The gross output is equal to the cost of production, that is, the sum of the intermediate consumption of goods and services, compensation of employees, consumption of fixed capital and corresponding net taxes on production.

The government's final consumption expenditure consists therefore of the purchases of goods and services and expenditure on compensation of employees, less the revenue received from sales.

Sales do not include fees and charges levied by governments for regulatory purposes.
Examples are payments of driving tests, vehicle licenses, driving permits, dog licenses, passports, airport fees and fees charged for court services, all of which are defined as fees when paid by households and as taxes on production when paid by enterprises.

Fines and penalties are also excluded from sales and classified as "fines and National Accounts Statistics - 20091 IOBKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS 21 :malties" whether paid by households or enterprises.
These items are not to be deducted from gross utput to arrive at final consumption expenditure.

[.IRIVATE FINAL CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE This is defined as the outlays of households on new durable and non-durable goods and services less their net sales of second-hand goods, scraps and waste.

Purchases of households of consumer durables such as furniture, radios, and automobiles are all included in private final consumption expenditure.
Purchases of dwellings are treated as gross fixed capital formation of the real estate industry.

The imputed rent of owner-occupied dwellings is part of the gross output of the real estate industry and is also included in the final consumption expenditure of households.

Two main concepts of final consumption expenditure of households are applied in the SNA, namely final consumption expenditure of households in the domestic market and final consumption expenditure of resident households.
The former concept relates to the expenditure of all household residents as well as non-residents, in the domestic territory of a country.

This concept is arrived at first in the process of estimation; it is also the concept of household consumption expenditure, which is classified according to type and object of expenditure.
Final consumption expenditure of residents is derived from final consumption expenditure of households in the domestic market by adding the direct purchases resident households make abroad and deducting the purchases non-resident households make in the domestic market.
Direct purchases of resident households abroad and by non-resident households in the domestic market cover expenditure by individuals such as diplomats and military personnel and by individuals who visit foreign countries as tourists, seasonal or border workers for a period of less than one year.

Outlays of individuals who are travelling on business and whose expenses are reimbursed by their employers should not be included, as they are part of the intermediate consumption expenditure of the employers.
GROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATION This consists of additions to the assets of producers of tangible reproducible goods that have an expected lifetime of use of one year or more.

The producers in question may be industries, producers of government services and producers of private nonprofit services to households.

The capital goods may be purchased or produced on own account.
Sales less purchases of second-hand fixed assets and sales of scrapped fixed assets and sales of scrapped fixed assets by producers should be deducted from gross fixed capital formation.
Gross fixed capital formation covers the following items: (i) Acquisitions by producers for civilian use of tangible assets which have an estimated lifetime of use of one year or more, except land, mineral deposits, timber tracts and similar non-reproducible 22 lORKEY CONCEPTS AND DEFINITlONSj National Accounts Statistics- 2 0 tangible assets.

Relatively inexpensive durable reproducible goods, such as certain types of office equipment, may on practical grounds be excluded.
Government outlays on construction machinery and durable equipment primarily intended for military use are classified as intermediate consumption rather than gross fixed capital formation.

(ii) Outlays on improvements and alterations of capital goods that significantly extend their expected lifetime of use or substantially increase their productivity are considered to be gross fixed capital formation.
(iii) Outlays on the reclamation and improvement of land, on the development and extension of timber tracts, mines, plantations, orchards, and similar agricultural holdings are included in gross fixed capital formation.

(iv) Purchases and breeding of draught animals, breeding stock, dairy cattle and sheep and other animals raised for wool and hair clips should be treated as acquisitions of fixed assets.
(v) Dealers' margins, solicitors' fees, stamp duties and other transfer costs of transactions in land, mineral deposits, timber tracts and similar non-reproducible assets in tangible non-financial assets and in second-hand assets are covered in gross capital formation.
CHANGES IN INVENTORIES This is equal in principle to the market value at the owning establishment of the physical change during a period of account, in stocks of materials, supplies, work-in-progress except on construction projects, finished products, livestock raised for slaughter and merchandise held by resident industries and in stock of strategic materials and emergency stocks of important products held by government services.
In practice, the closest feasible approximation may be the difference between the levels of these stocks at the beginning and the end of the period, both valued at approximate average prices ruling over the period.
EXPORTS AND IMPORTS OF GOODS AND NON-FACTOR SERVICES This consists of the transactions in goods and services of the residents of a given country with the rest of the world, and covers merchandise, transportation, travel, insurance and other non-factor services, such as government transactions, various fees, rentals, royalties and gifts in kind.

Military equipment transferred between governments may, however, go unrecorded.
Expenditure abroad by residents such as tourists and other persons, seasonal workers and diplomatic and military personnel stationed abroad are treated as imports.

Similarly, expenditures in the domestic territory by non-residents are considered exports.

The valuation of exports and imports is f.o.b.

SOURCES AND METHODS OF ESTIMATING THE GROSS VALUE ADDED IN CURRENT AND CONSTANT PRICES This section provides an overview of the sources and methods used to compile the gross value added for each economic activity in current and constant prices.

AGRICULTURE Agriculture comprises of agricultural crops, bananas, livestock, eggs production, forestry and fishing sub industries.

The gross value added is estimated using the production approach.
Agricultural Crops Agricultural crops in Dominica can be classified into two categories: i. ii.

Export crops, such as bananas, vegetables, tree crops and root crop; Other subsistence crops Bananas Data on bananas were obtained from the Dominica Agricultural Producers and Exporters (DAPEX), formerly Dominica Banana Producers Limited (DBPL).

The value of output of bananas was derived from the value of fruit purchased by WINFARM.
The value of inputs consisted of the total cost of sales of inputs derived by using data from the financial statements of the Input Warehouse.

The double deflation method was used to estimate the constant price estimates for bananas.

This method entails revaluing current year's quantity of bananas purchased at the 2006 base year price.

Inputs were also revalued at base year prices and then deducted from outputs to arrive at the value added at constant prices.
A composite index of the cost of fertilizers was constructed.

The value of inputs in current prices was deflated by the composite index of the cost of fertilizers to derive the value of inputs in constant prices.

The gross value added in constant prices is equal to the value of output at 2006 prices less the value of inputs at 2006 prices.
To derive the current prices for other bananas the value of output was derived from the total value of bananas exported as shown in the trade statistics less the total output from WINFARM multiplied by the average price per pound of bananas in the base year.

The cost of inputs for other bananas was calculated using a ratio of total inputs to the total value of outputs.
A volume index of the quantity of bananas produced was used to extrapolate the base year value added estimates to derive the constant price estimates.

National Accounts Statistics - 2009111BSOURCES AND METHODS OF ESTIMATING THE GROSS VALUE ADDED IN CURRENT AND CONSTANT PRICES 25 Other Crops Gross value added for other agriculture crops was derived by using the production approach.
This method consisted of estimating the total value of agricultural output at producer's prices and subtracting intermediate consumption.

Output was estimated based on major export crops and covers over seventy one different crops produced in the country.

Intermediate consumption consists of expenditure on fertilizers, insecticides, seeds, the cost of maintaining and repairing machinery and equipment, fuel, and the purchase of small tools, bags, twine and other minor items.
It was estimated at 18 per cent of the gross value of output.

For constant price estimates, the value of output was revalued at 2006 prices.

A volume index was derived and used to extrapolate the base year value added estimate.

Livestock Data on livestock (cows, eggs and meat production, goats and sheep, poultry, pigs etc.)

were collected from the Ministry of Agriculture-Livestock Division, livestock farmers, trade statistics and others.
Estimates for livestock production were obtained from the 1995 agricultural census, National Farm Register, 2008 and livestock Extension farmers.

The cost of inputs were compiled from data on the local sales of livestock and poultry feed which data on the imports of livestock and poultry feed and chicks which were obtained from the trade statistics and adjusted for death, trade and transport margins to arrive at purchaser's prices.
The gross value added for livestock was computed as the value of output of production of livestock (goats, sheep, pigs etc.)

less the value of inputs (imported livestock feed, locally produced livestock feed, veterinary services etc.)

The gross value added for poultry was computed as the gross value of output of eggs and poultry meat less the value of inputs which consists of imported and locally produced pOUltry feed and repairs and maintenance and other costs.
The total value added for livestock in current prices is equal to the gross value added for livestock plus the gross value added for egg production.

To derive the constant prices, a volume index of output of the number (cows, goats and sheep, pigs, etc.)

were obtained for each year then multiplied by the base year (2006) value added in current prices to gain value added in constant for each year.
Forestry The value of output for forestry was estimated based on household consumption of charcoal from the HBS and SLC Survey and also using similar sources as a benchmark.

It was assumed that average household uses one sack of charcoal per month.

Intermediate cost was estimated as 5 per cent of gross output.

Current price estimates for forestry were computed as the value of output of production of forestry products (charcoal) less the value of inputs (wood and logs).
The gross value of output of charcoal in constant prices was used to form a volume index to derive the constant price estimates.

26 IlBSOURCES AND METHODS OF ESTIMATING THE GROSS VALUE ADDED IN CURRENT AND CONSTANT PRICESI National Accounts Statistics- 2009 Fishing The fish landed by fishermen were captured for this industry.

The quantity and price of fish landings were provided by the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries and Dominica Export and Importing Agencies (DEXIA).
The gross value added in current prices for fishing was computed as the gross value of output for fish landed less the total inputs which consisted of fuel, tackles, oil etc.

FISM FISIM stands for financial intermediation services indirectly measured.

In the System of National Accounts it is an estimate of the value of the services provided by financial intermediaries, such as banks, for which no explicit charges are made; instead these services are paid for as part of the margin between rates applied to savers and borrowers.
The supposition is that savers would receive a ~Iigher interest rate and borrowers pay a lower interest rate if all financial services had explicit charges.

The 1993 SNA calculated FISIM as the difference between property income receivable and interest payable excluding the value of any property income receivable from the investment of own funds.
The 1993 SNA recognized that in practice it may be difficult to find a method of allocating FISIM among different users and therefore, accepted that some countries may prefer to continue to use the convention whereby the whole of the services are allocated to intermediate consumption of a notional industry.

The 1993 SNA suggests two ways of allocating FISIM to the sectors that consume it.

The preferred method is to use a reference rate of interest, which is a theoretical concept.
The annual reference rate is the interest rate that people must be paid to persuade them to wait one year before spending their income.

The interest rates that are observed on the market are higher than the reference rate because they include a risk factor.

The second method of allocating FISIM is using relevant indicators.

Relevant indicators are the total bank loans to a given sector and the total deposits held by banks from that sector.
Total loans are added to total deposits and each sector's share in total bank loans and bank deposits are used to allocate FISIM.

The 1993 SNA recognizes that these two approaches may not be feasible for all countries because of data constraints.

In the case of Dominica, data on global FISIM was obtained from the annual NAS of financial institutions.

The balance sheet data on total deposits and loans and advances were obtained from the ECCB and were used in the allocation of FISIM.
The sector distribution of depositors and borrowers FISIM was allocated among households, non-residents, government and businesses.

In the allocation of FISIM, an assumption that banks provide the same amount of service for each dollar loaned and deposited was 36 llBSOURCES AND METHODS OF ESTIMATING THE GROSS VALUE ADDED IN CURRENT AND CONSTANT PRICES/ National Accounts Statistics- 2009 made.
This assumption was made to keep the allocation simple, although we know that FISIM margins vary among various assets and liabilities.

Thus the FISIM allocated to depositors should then be allocated among sectors (household, government, non-residents and businesses) on the basis of their deposit holdings.

Similarly, FISIM allocated to borrowers should be distributed among the sectors on the basis of outstanding loans.
In the case of Dominica data are only available on loan holdings and not deposit holdings.

In the absence of such data on deposit holdings, industry output was used as an allocator.

FISIM in constant prices was derived by deflating the average stock of loans and deposits by the CPI to derive a volume index of loans and deposits and having the base year margin rate applied to the deflated values of loans and deposits.
