National Income and Expenditure 2017

Expenditure

Open in Excel:

The Expenditure approach uses all spending on final demand to produce an estimate for Gross Domestic Product. We do this by estimating:

personal expenditure on consumers' goods and services
expenditure by central and local government on current goods and services
gross domestic fixed capital formation
value of physical changes in stocks

The value of exports is then added and imports are deducted.

The following tables show the contributions of the different components of the Expenditure approach to Gross Domestic Product at current market prices and at constant market prices.

Exports grew by 7.8% in 2017, while imports reduced by 9.4%. Physical capital formation decreased 31.9% in 2017. This was largely driven by the decrease in R&D related IP imports following the increase in 2016. For more information see Capital Formation. Government net current expenditure rose by 3.9%.

Figure 5.1 below shows the relative contributions of each of the components of expenditure.
