COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA NATIONAL ACCOUNTS STATISTICS 1977·1984 ISSUED BY THE STATISTICAL DIVISION MINISTRY OF FINANCE I' ..

PREFACE This is the second publication on national accounts issued by the Statistical Division of Dominica.
about the magnitude and sources of national income by indus­ trial origin as well as short notes on the methods of estima­ tion.

It provides information The material presented in this publication consist of a revised series of national accounts estimates for the period 1977 to 1983 and projections for 1984. in the estimates of earlier years have not been significant.

However, some revisions have been made arising mainly from gaps and improvement in the methodology.
have been made to the data as a result of new or updated in­ formation that became available .

In addition, adjustments In most instances, the revisions National Accounting estimates provide a framework within which integrated analyses of the activities of an economy may be observed, with short term performance being measured by changes in the variables and longer term development observed through the directional movements of the parameters.
The series presented in this report have been prepared in accordance with the standard metho~ology adopteo for OECS Member States which is broadly consistent with the recommen­ dations of the United Nations Revised System of National Accounts.

However, due to manpower resources constraint, the accounts pre­ sented are mainly confined to Gross Domestic Product Estimates at current and constant prices, and analysis of government accounts.
As new sources of data become available, and more advanced statistical techniques come into use, the Statistical Division will no doubt have to regularly revise and update the Statisti­ cal material provided herein, and thus invites comments, criticisms, and suggestions which may help to improve the quality of future issues.

GRAPHS Percentage Growth of GDP GDP at 1977 Prices 33 34 35 36 38 39 SUMMARY OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY The economy of Dominica grew at a moderate rate of 4.3% in real terms during 1984, exhibiting signs of a recovery in economic performance over the past two years which experienced growth rates of 2.4% and 2.5% in 1982 and 1983.

Contributing significantly to this performance were the construction and agricultural sectors.
The gross domestic product at current factor cost rose to EC$189.91 million in 1984, registering a 8.1% increase over the figure of the previous year.

The Dominican economy has been dominated by rehabilitation activities which followed the damages caused by Hurricane David in 1979 and Hurricane Allan in 1980.

As can be seen from Table 2, the economy experienced negative growth of 1170 in 1979, as a result of the hurricane.
The following two years were supported by reconstruction efforts which led to high GDP growth rates of 16.4% in 1980, follow­ ed by another 6.4% in 1981.

The rate of inflation as measured by the consumer price index increased considerably from 7.8% in 1978 to 18% in 1979 and further to 32% in 1980.

In recent years the increase in prices have slowed down to 4.2% and 2.2% in 1983 and 1984, reflecting the decline in the rate of increase in import prices.
Agriculture Despite Dominica's mountainous terrain, with most of the farming land being inaccessible and on steep gradients, agriculture is still the mainstay of the economy both in the domestic and export sectors.

It accounts for 30% of the GDP and about 51% of domestic exports.

The agricultural sector registered a 6.2% growth in 1984 after an insignificant growth of 0.8% in 1983.
In real terms, this sector is still performing somewhat below its pre-hurricane levels, having previously accounted for over 37% of the GDP (see Table 4).

-1­ Banana is still the major crop.

It accounts for about 40% of export earnings.

Other important agro-industrial crops are coconuts, grapefruits, limes, oranges and bay oil.

Manufacturing The contribution of manufacturing in the gross domestic product increased from 5% in 1977 to about 8% in 1984.
Dominica Coconut Products is by far the largest industry in this sector contributing 75% of total value added.

The industry experienced severe difficulties in maintaining its CARICOM markets and as a result of this manufacturing output declined by about 1% during 1984.

Some new industries including candle production and bottling of spring water also commenced operation in 1984.
The percentage share of construction in the gross domestic product increased from 6.4% in 1977 to 12.9% in 1980, due to increased construction activity after Hurricane David, and stabilised to about 9% in 1984.

The share of wholesale and retail trade as a percentage of the total which was 11.6% in 1977 remained at the same level in real terms, but declined in 1984 thus reflecting better regulation of trade margins and reduction in import prices.
Government Services the share in the gross domestic product increased from 19.9% in 1977 to about 22% in 1984.

Gross Output: This is equal to the gross value of the commodities (the goods and services) produced during the period.

The rest goes into the stocks of the producers either in the form of finished goods or as work-in­ progress.
Work-in-progress includes partially processed, fabricated or assembled goods, but excludes partially completed construction works, which are included in gross fixed capital formation and in the sales of the construc­ tion industry.

Goods and services produced which are not intended for sale in the market, but are used for consumption or capital formation on own account, should also be covered in the gross output of industries.

• • Inter­ Inputs/Intermediate Consumption and Final Product: mediate consumption consists of raw materials and services which are used up in the process of production.

To use a simple example, suppose EC$1 million worth of coconuts is used to produce EC$5 million worth of soap, it is clear that the value of the soap includes the value of the coconuts.

Therefore the two cannot be included individually in the value of gross output.
value of coconuts will be counted twice and hence the value of gross output will be over estimated.

coconut is the intermediate product and the sale of soap becomes a part of final demand.

If both are included the In this example, III.

Gross Domestic Product at Factor Cost: This is the value of all goods and services produced in an economy over a It is equal to the period of time (usually one year).

Compensation of Employees: This is defined to include all payments by resident producers of wages and salaries to their employees in kind and in cash, and of contribu­ tions 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.
(1) Wages and Salaries: This is defined to include all payments which employees receive in respect of their work whether in cash or in kind, and before deductions to Social Security, Income Tax, National Housing Trust etc.

Included are:­ (a) (b) Commissions Tips /(c) ... -4­ Bonuses Cost of living and dearness allowances Fees to ministers of religion Fees to members of boards of directors (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) Holidays 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 which are of clear and direct benefit to the employees as consumers.

Excluded from Wages and Salaries are expenditure by employers which are of benefit both to the employees and the employers.
Examples of these are outlays on:­ Sport and other recreational facilities (a) Medical Examinations (b) (c) Amenities at place of work (d) Reimbursement of expenses for travel and entertainment Reimbursement of expenses or provision of uniforms, tools and equipment .

(e) • (2) Employers Contribution to Social Security Schemes: This concept is self explanatory.

(3) Employers Contribution to Private Pension Funds etc.
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, pensions etc.

The SNA states that if in the absence of special schemes or reserves, employers make direct payments of this type to their employees, imputed contributions in respect of these obligations should be included in the employers contribution to private schemes.

Indirect Taxes: These are defined as compulsory payments to Government which the industries treat as part of the cost of production.

A distinction is made in the new system between commodity taxes and other /indirect taxes -5­ indirect taxes.

Commodity taxes include all indirect taxes which vary with the quantity or value of commodi­ ties imported, produced or sold.

Examples of commodity taxes are import, export and excise duties, sales taxes, entertainment duties and betting taxes.
Other indirect taxes include business licenses, levies on value added, on the employment of labour, on real estate and on the use of fixed assets.

Passport, air­ port, court fees, licences and similar duties and fees are in the case of industries and other producers treated as indirect taxes, but are considered to be compulsory fees or transfers from households.

XI.
XI.

Subsidies· These are all grants on current account made by Government to private industries and public corporations, and grants made by the public authorities to Government enterprises in compensation for operating losses, when these losses are clearly the consequence of the policy of the Government to maintain prices at a level below cost of production.
Any Government grants to producers which are not connect­ ed with their productive activities but are given to them in the capacity of consumers, such as social assis­ tance grants and social security benefits should be treated as current transfers and not as subsidies.

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 gross value of output.

The intermediate consumption is value of material inputs used.

The production / approach ... -6­ approach is useful for estimation of 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 summing up estimates of its components i.e., compensation of employees and operating surplus.

This approach is most common­ ly used in the case of services sectors, since data on gross out­ put and intermediate consumption in the service 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 on final consumption of households, consumption expenditure of Government Services, private non­ profit services serving households and gross capital formation adjusted for imports and exports of goods and services.

- 7­ NOTES ON METHODOLOGY Agriculture This sector comprises of crops, livestock, forestry and fishing.
Crops Estimates on production from crops cover output of thirty one different crops of which bananas are the principle crop account­ ing for about 20% of total agricultural production at farm-gate prices.

Other important agro-industrial crops are coconuts, grapefruits, limes, oranges and bay oil.

Value added is estimated by the production approach.

The value of output consist of exports and local consumption, including subsistence, which vary from crop to crop.
The output of the various crops are estimated in consultation with the Ministry of Agriculture.

The farm-gate prices are obtained by adjusting export f.o.b.

and market prices for trade and transport margins.

These prices are checked for consistency with prices paid by Banana Growers Association, and Dominica Coconut Products to the banana and coconut growers, and those paid by Dominica Agricul­ tural Marketing Board for several other crops.
The cost of material inputs consists of imported inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides.

The c.i.f.

value of these imports are adjusted upwards to include duty, consumption tax and trade and transport margins.

Additionally, in consultation with the Ministry of Agriculture, local inputs of materials and costs of repairs and maintenance of agricultural machinery and tools are estimated at 10% of the value of output.
The double deflation method is used to obtain the 1977 constant prices.

Production of all agricultural crops are revalued at Imported inputs are deflated by an index of potas­ 1977 prices.

sic fertilizer prices, and local inputs are taken to be 10% of constant price outputs.

-8­ Livestock The value added for livestock is estimated by the production approach.

The livestock Division of the Ministry of Agricul­ ture provides estimates of beef, pork, mutton, poultry, meat, eggs and milk production.
Estimates of meat production are based on slaughter permits and an upward adjustment is made for unrecorded slaughter.

Estimates on poultry and egg pro­ duction are obtained from the major poultry farms.

These are cross-checked for consistency with the estimates provided by the Ministry of Agriculture.

Material inputs consist mostly of imported livestock feed which amounts to about 25% of the gross value of output.

Local inputs are estimated at 5% of output.


The constant price series is obtained by the double deflation method.

Forestry The value of output covers bamboo, logs, wood, firewood and charcoal.

The estimates are obtained in consultation with the Ministry of Agriculture Forestry Department.

Material inputs are estimated at 20% of gross value of output.

The constant price series is obtained by double deflation metnod.
Fishing For fishing, the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries Division provides estimates of landed catch.

Since December 1983, enumerators from the Ministry are collecting detailed monthly data on catch at major fishing ports.

Data are also obtained from the cooperatives.

For the previous years, output has been estimated on the basis of number of mechanised and non­ mechanised boats and average catch per boat.
The Department of Fisheries conducted an ad hoc survey in 1981 and estimated that there were 350 mechanized and 259 non-mechanized boats in fishing and they caught 8,000 lbs and 2,080 lbs of fish per boat respectively.

The retail price of fish is taken as the producers' price since most of the fish is usually sold -9 ­ at the point of landing.

The material inputs consist of expenses on fuel, bait, nets, repairs and maintenance of boats, etc.
which amounts to 48.7% of the value of output for mechanized boats and 5.2% for non-mechanized boats.

The constant price estimates are obtained by valuing out­ put at 1977 prices and deducting input in the same proportion as in the current series.

~ining and Q~arrying This is a relatively small sector and consists of only one private company and the government engaged in quarrying.

The output covers production of gravel, stone, pumice and sand.
Due to the lack of more comprehensive data for this sector, in recent years the value added in Mining has been assumed to be about 10% of the value added in construction in both current and constant prices.

Manufacturing Value added in the Manufacturing sector is estimated by the income approach.

The main source of data is the Inland Revenue Office.
The available income tax returns are analysed and data on wages and salaries, interest, rent, depreciation and profits, which constitute the value added, are compiled.

The non-response is estimated on the basis of data on wages and salaries available from the Social Security Department.

The contribution of the small scale industries and handicrafts are assumed to be 10% of the total value added.
The constant price estimates are worked out by extrapolating the base year estimate on the basis of quantities of manufacturing output.

Electricity and Water The value added in this sector is estimated by the income approach.

The main sources of data are the accounts of the Dominica Electricity Services and the \vater Supply Authority.

-10­ The constant price estimates are extrapolated from base year estimates on the basis of electricity sold and water supply.
Construction The value added in construction is estimated by the commodity flow approach.

The estimates are essentially based on imports data, since domestic output of construction material is negi­ gible.

The c.i.f.

values of imports of construction materials are adjusted downwards for any re-exports and for non-con­ struction purposes; and adjusted upwards for duty, consumption tax, trade and transport margins.
The value of construction materials used as inputs is assumed to be 65% of the gross value of output.

This proportion has been derived on the basis of discussions with the Ministry of Communications and Works and private contractors.

For the constant price estimates, the deflator used is an index of c.i.f.

import prices of con­ struction materials (based on SITC Rev.

2 section 6 and 2).

Wholesale and Retail Trade Value added in the trade sector is estimated by the income approach.
The main sources of data are the accounts of trading establishments available at the Inland Revenue Office.

For non-response, adjustments are made on the basis of data on employment and remuneration available from the Social Security Department.

The small traders (self-employed) and vendor trade are assumed to be a very small percentage of the total.
The constant price estimates have been obtained by extrapolating the base year estimate by an index of traded goods valued at 1977 prices, covering outputs of Agriculture, Mining and Manufacturing sectors and imports.

Hotels and Restaurants The value added estimates are obtained by the income approach.

The main sources of data are the accounts at the Inland Revenue Office.

To cover small hotels and restaurants the above estimate -11­ is adjusted upward by 5%.
The constant price estimates are derived by extrapolating the base year value added by an index of the total number of visitor arrivals.

Transport The transport sector comprised of road transport, water transport and air transport.

Road Transport The estimates of value added are obtained on the basis of ear­ nings per vehicle and number of vehicles.

The vehicles covered are hired trucks, buses, taxis, and hired jeeps, and their number is obtained from the licensing authorities.
The earnings per vehicle are obtained on the basis of inquiries from various operators.

The constant price estimates are extrapolated by the number of vehicles in each category.

Water Transport The income approach is used to derive value added estimates for water transport, which are obtained from the accounts of port authority, shipping agents and lighter owners, and private shipping companies.

The constant price estimates are derived on the basis of volume of cargo traffic.
Air Transport This sector covers LIAT, air travel agents and airport adminis­ tration.

The income of travel agents and airport administration have been obtained from their accounts, and 5% of LIAT's operat­ ing surplus is included representing the share of equity capital held by Dominica.

The constant price estimates are based on the index of volume of passenger arrivals.

-12­ Cormnunications The estimates cover the operations of the Post Office and Cable and Wireless.
The accounts of the Post Office which are avail­ able from the Governmeut budget are analysed to obtain compen­ sation of employees and the constant price estimates are based on the volume of postal traffic.

The accounts of Cable and Wireless for Dominica's operation are analysed to obtain the value added in current prices.

The constant price estimates are based on the number of minutes of overseas calls.

Banking and Insurance The value added estimates are obtained by the income approach.
The accounts of 5 cormnercia1 banks, 22 credit unions and insurance companies are analysed to obtain the data.

For the banking sub-sector, the constant price estimates are based on a combined index of cheques cleared and employment (50:50 weights), and for insurance the deflator used is the Consumer Price Index.

Real Estate and Dwellings The value added estimates for owner-occupied dwellings are calculated on the basis of number of houses and average rent per house.
One month's rent is subtracted as cost of repairs and maintenance.

The number of dwellings is projected on the basis of 1970 and 1981 population census data on housing and the growth of the population.

The rate of rent per house for the island as a whole is assumed to be half of the low cost housing as most of the houses are of low quality.

The value added at constant prices are derived first with population growth, and then inflated by the total Consumer Price Index to obtain current price estimates.
The constant price value added for 1979 has been adjusted downwards on account of destruction of houses by Hurricane David.

The Roseau Market Authority is engaged in real estate.

The contribution to value added is very small as is based on compensation of employees.

-13­ Government Services The value added at current prices are obtained from analysis of the data on actual expenditure available from the computer printouts.
The wages and salaries, pensions and gratuities comprise compensation of employees.

The operations of the post office, airport, broadcasting and construction are ex­ cluded and allocated to their appropriate sectors.

The major accounts in the government thus refer to central government, local government and Social Security Administration.

Fiscal year data of central and local governments are adjusted to correspond to the calendar year.
The constant price estimates are obtained by eliminating the effect of wage increase due to cost of living.

Other Services This sector covers business, entertainment and personal services, such as services of accounting firms, legal firms, individual professionals, domestic maids, barbers and beauty salons etc.

Broadcasting and recently Cable TV have also been included.
The data are based on a benchmark estimate compiled for 1977-1978 from the Inland Revenue Office accounts and Social Security data on employment and remuneration.

The constant price series is derived on the basis of population growth, and the current price series obtained by inflating the above with the Consumer Price Index.
Imputed Banking Service Charges According to the recommendation of the UN SNA, the imputed banking service charges, which consists of the difference between interest earned on loans and interest paid on deposits, have been deducted from the GDP in a single line, and not allocated to individual sectors.

The constant price estimates are obtained by extrapolating the base year figure with an index of cheques cleared and employment (50:50 weights) as was the case for the Banking Sector.
