The department wishes to thank the business community, public corporations and governmental agencies for the cooperation received in the provision of the necessary data.
The Department also acknowledges the invaluable contribution of: Mrs. Leona Wilson (Acting Director) Mrs. Clarice Turnquest (Unit Coordinator National Accounts & Business Establishment) Mrs. Terah Newbold (National Accounts Supervisor) National Accounts Staff: Ms. Portia Tulloch (Assistant Supervisor), Mr. Graylyn Frazier, Mr. Hugene Adderley, Ms. Shanya Miller, Ms. Stefanel Taylor, Ms. Georgina Gabriel The Business Establishment Section The Consumer Prices Section The External Trade Section The Labour Force Section The Ministry of Finance The Ministry of Agriculture The Department of Fisheries The Ministry of Tourism The Central Bank of the Bahamas The Insurance Commission vi CONCEPTS & DEFINITIONS1 The System of National Accounts (SNA): SNA 2008 consists of a coherent, consistent integrated set of macroeconomic accounts; balance sheets and tables based on a set of internationally agreed concepts, definitions, classifications and accounting rules.
It provides a comprehensive accounting framework within which economic data can be compiled and presented in a format that is designed for purposes of economic analysis, decision-taking and policy-making.
The Supply and Use Tables (SUT): The central framework of the SNA 2008 contains detailed Supply and Use tables in the form of matrices that record how supplies of different kinds of goods and services originate from domestic industries and imports and how those supplies are allocated between various intermediate or final uses, including exports.
These tables involve the compilation of a set of integrated production and generation of income accounts for industries – that is, groups of establishments as distinct from institutional units – that are able to draw upon detailed data from industrial censuses or surveys.
The Supply and Use tables provide an accounting framework within which the commodity flow method of compiling national accounts – in which the total supplies and uses of individual types of goods and services have to be balanced with each other – can be systematically exploited.

The Supply and Use tables also provide the basic information for the derivation of detailed input-output tables that are extensively used for purposes of economic analysis and projections.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): This is the sum of the remuneration of all Bahamian factors of production - labor, capital and land - employed in the creation of the unduplicated total output of the Bahamian economy in the Bahamas.

It also includes net indirect taxes i.e.

indirect taxes less subsidies.

When such net indirect taxes are excluded from the total, it is known as GDP at factor cost.
Gross National Product (GNP): either at market prices or factor cost differs from the domestic product by including the income of Bahamian capital earned abroad and excluding the contribution of foreign capital to the Bahamian economy.

These contributions are represented by interest and dividend receipts and payments to and from abroad.
vii 1 System of National Accounts 2008 Gross Value Added (GVA): is defined as output (at producer’s prices) less intermediate consumption (at purchaser’s price) for the industries making up the GDP.

The difference between gross and net value added and gross and net operating surplus is depreciation.

The industrial composition of GDP follows the International Standard Industrial Classification Revision 4 (ISIC Rev.4).
Expenditure on Gross Domestic Product: Also referred to as Gross Domestic Expenditure (GDE) - constitutes all Final Expenditures by Households and Government; Investments; Exports minus Imports.

Final expenditure is defined as expenditure that is not used up in the production process within the year.

The differences between Gross Domestic Expenditure and Gross National Expenditure, is identical to the difference between GDP and GNP.
viii SOURCES AND METHODS A: GROSS VALUE ADDED BY INDUSTRIAL ORIGIN: Production Approach: The economy is divided into industries such as Manufacturing, Electricity, and Construction etc., based on the International Standard Industrial Classification Revision 4.

The measure is Gross Value Added which is calculated as Revenue/Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold and Intermediate Consumption, plus Taxes less Subsidies on Products.
The data is sourced from most industries through surveys conducted by the Department of Statistics’ (DOS) Business Establishment Section.

The largest entities in the various industries are censured, while for the smaller entities a scientifically constructed sample survey is used.

The data derived from questionnaires are items such as gross revenue, wages and salaries, detailed expenses incurred in carrying out the business, depreciation etc.
Information gathered from those industries not surveyed, is normally available either from administrative records or are collected by pertinent government or quasi-government agencies.

These include the Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Fisheries, which provide agriculture and fisheries data respectively.

The Financial Industry’s data is obtained mainly from the Insurance Commission of The Bahamas and the Central Bank of the Bahamas.
Information for Public Administration, Public Education and Public Health comes from the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of the Bahamas.

Historical Series: The Historical Series was derived by using the levels produced by the Supply and Use 2012 and inverting the change of the previously published estimates.

This calculation was done for each industry’s Revenue and Intermediate Consumption.

The Gross Value Added using the previously published growth rates are not additive.
ix B: EXPENDITURE ON GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: Expenditure Approach: This approach divides the economy into the consumption of Government and Households, Investment and Exports of goods & services minus Imports of goods & services.

The resulting figure is the same value of GDP as obtained by the Production Approach.

Government Final Consumption Expenditure is derived from an analysis of current expenditure details from the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of The Bahamas.
Private Final Consumption Expenditure of Residents has many elements.

This is derived primarily from the Household Expenditure Survey 2012 results which were used in the calculation of the 2012 SUT.

The Change in Stocks is obtained from records of public corporations and the establishment surveys of retail and wholesale trade.
At present, no complete knowledge of inventory accounting practices exists nor are there any price indices measuring the change in the value of inventories, these estimates must be considered rough approximations to the true change in the value of inventories.

Presently no data exist in areas other than outlined above.

The values of Gross Fixed Capital Formation and Machinery and Transport Equipment are based on the Commodity Flow Approach.
The values of Exports and Imports of Goods and Services are anchored to the Balance of Trade and the Balance of Payment data estimated by the Department of Statistics and the Central Bank of the Bahamas respectively.

The Tourism data is based on the Ministry of Tourism estimates.

Historical Series: The Historical Series was derived using the levels produced by the Supply and Use 2012.

The years 1997 – 2011 were then extrapolated using the previously published growth patterns.
The resulting estimates are not additive.

x USES OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS2 1.

Monitoring the behavior of the economy by comparing and following the movement of economic flows such as production, household consumption, government consumption, capital formation, exports, imports etc.

2.

Macro-economic analysis using econometric models to investigate the casual, functional relationships between different economic variables.

3.
3.

Economic policy making and decision-taking short term policy can be made based on recent behavior and the current state of the economy and a view or precise forecast about likely future developments.

4.

Harmonization between different statistical systems by promoting consistency in terms of concepts, definitions and classifications.

Revisions of these various systems are conducted in parallel with the SNA.
5. International Comparison which normally compare GDP or GDP per head, ratios of investment, taxes or government expenditure on GDP.

These are used to evaluate the performance of similar economies, eligibility for loans, aid or other funds or conditions on which such loans, aid or funds are made available.

It also determines the size of the contributions which member countries of international organizations make to finance operations of these organizations.

4 - 10 xi DATA HIGHLIGHTS The National Accounts Section of the Department of Statistics is pleased to release the Annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2018, compiled by the Production and Expenditure Approaches.

The 2018 GDP figures are preliminary and have been produced based on data available up to March 2019.

The preliminary results for 2018 reveal GDP of $12.424 billion in nominal dollars and $10.763 billion in real dollars (Graph C).
When compared to the same period of 2017, this represents an increase of 2.3% in nominal growth and real growth of 1.6%.

Growth in Real Value Added In 2018, nine of the seventeen industry groups contributed to the overall increase in real GDP.

However, increases in Real Estate, Wholesale and Retail Trade, Accommodation and Food services, and Financial and Insurance Services were the leading contributors.

• For the Real Estate industry group, real value added increased by $16 million (0.9%).
• Wholesale and Retail Trade grew by $43 million (3.0%) when compared to 2017.

• The Accommodation and Food Services industry showed a combined increase of $253 million, which is influenced by the 7.9% rebound posted for tourist arrivals in 2018.

• The Financial and Insurance Sector grew by $42 million (4.2%) when compared to 2017.

This is supported by more favorable developments in domestic credit extended by the Financial Institutions compared to the previous year.
Other Highlights Sectors contributing to growth in Real GDP calculated using the Expenditure Approach include: • Household Expenditure which increased by $140 million (1.9%).

• Non-Profit Institutions Serving households grew by $7 million (2.2%).

• Exports of Goods and Services increased by $244 million (6.3%).

• Imports of Goods and Services decreased by $23 million (0.4%).
xii Revisions to 2013-2017 Estimates: In keeping with International best practices, revisions to published data are inevitable as additional and more accurate information becomes available.

Therefore, the National Accounts Section has revised the 2013 to 2017 estimates to incorporate new data sources and recommended methodological changes.
Revisions to the data sources include: • Balance of Payments provided by The Central Bank of The Bahamas, • Tourism Visitor Arrivals data, • External Trade Statistics, • Consumer Price Indices, • Aggregated Value Added Tax data • The Business Establishment Survey 2017. xiii TABLE 1: GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT BY ECONOMIC ACTIVITY (B$ MILLIONS) at Current (Nominal) Prices Industry Classification (Revision 4) ISIC Code 2012 2013 R 2014 R 2015 R 2016 R 2017 R 2018 P Agriculture, forestry and fishing Mining and quarrying Manufacturing A B C Electricity and gas, Water supply and sewerage D & E Construction Wholesale and retail trade, Motor Vehicle repairs Transport and Storage Accomodation and Food Services Information and Communication Financial and Insurance activities Real Estate activities Professional, scientific and technical services Administrative and support services Public administration and defense, Social security Education Human health and social work F G H I J K L M N O P Q Arts, Other Services, Household Employment, Extraterritorial Org.
