National Income and Expenditure 2019

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 10.5% in 2019, while imports grew by 32.4% largely driven by imports of intellectual property. Fixed capital formation increased by 74.8% in 2019. This was largely driven by the increase in R&D related IP imports. For more information see Capital Formation. Personal consumption increased by 3.2% while government net current expenditure rose by 6.3%.

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