On a seasonally adjusted basis, initial estimates indicate that GDP in volume terms increased by 1.4 percent for the second quarter of 2017. Real GNP decreased by 4.6 per cent over the same period.

Value added increases for Agriculture, Arts & Entertainment, Professional & Admin Services, and Financial Services, modest declines in Real Estate and Construction

Value added of agriculture rose by 15.9 per cent in volume terms in Q2 2017 compared with the previous quarter. Arts & Entertainment recorded a 5.4 per cent increase in real terms with Professional and administration services recording a 5.1 per cent increase, see Table 4. Financial Services increased by 4.6 per cent over the same period. All other sectors exhibited modest growth over the period with the exception of the real estate and construction sectors which recorded modest declines (-0.1 per cent and -0.3 per cent respectively).

Capital Investment increases, Personal Consumption and Net Exports decline

On the expenditure side of the accounts (Table 6), Capital formation rose by 39.9 per cent while government expenditure exhibited an increase of 0.6 per cent over the same period. Personal consumption, which accounted for 44.2 per cent of domestic demand in Q2 2017, declined by 1.1 per cent compared with the previous quarter. Total domestic demand increased by 19.1 per cent in Q2 2017 over Q1 2017.

Exports were little changed in Q2 2017 compared with Q1 2017 but an import increase of 12.0 per cent meant overall net exports for the quarter declined by 31.4 per cent. When combined with the 19.1 per cent increase in domestic demand, the result was an overall increase in real GDP in Q2 2017 of 1.4 per cent. Factor income outflows were 22.3 per cent higher in Q2 2017 (€15,769m) compared with Q1 2017 leading to an overall decrease in GNP of 4.6 per cent.

The calculation methods for quarterly accounts are similar to those used in the annual National Income and Expenditure. As some of the available sources are of lesser reliability than those used for the annual national accounts, the quarterly estimates are subject to a greater margin of error than the annual figures. These preliminary estimates will therefore be revised when the next detailed annual results are published.

 

Comparisons with Q2 2016

Initial estimates for the first quarter of 2017 indicate that there was an increase of 5.8 per cent in GDP in real terms in Q2 2017 compared with Q2 2016. Information & communication made the most positive contribution to the Q2 result, rising by 21.0 per cent with agriculture recording an increase of 15.7 per cent. Increases were also recorded in professional services (14.2 per cent), building and construction (12.7 per cent), industry (6.4 per cent) and arts & entertainment (5.7 per cent). Financial services declined by 4.5 per cent over the period compared with Q2 2016.

On the expenditure side there was an increase in net exports of €5,366m (47.6 per cent) during the quarter. Personal consumption expenditure exhibited a year-on-year increase of 1.7 per cent while capital investment declined by 8.8 per cent in Q2 2017 compared to Q2 2016.

Factor income outflows were 41.3 per cent higher than in the same quarter of 2016 leading to a decrease in GNP of 1.4 per cent year-on-year.

Background Notes

 

Introduction 

This release gives the official quarterly national accounts estimates for Ireland. It provides the first set of results for quarter 2 of 2017.

National accounts are compiled in the EU according to the European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA 2010) framework. In 2014, the new ESA 2010 framework replaced the previous ESA 95 version and all EU member states were required to adopt ESA 2010 by September 2014.  ESA 2010 is the European version of the current UN mandated international standards for national accounts statistics, the System of National Accounts (SNA) 2008. 

The aggregates shown have been derived from a wide variety of sources. As some of the available sources are of lesser reliability than those used for the annual national accounts, the quarterly estimates given in this release have a higher margin of error than the annual figures.

Revisions

Minor revisions have been made to the previously published figures for 2017.

Nace Classification

In compliance with EU regulations the Nace Rev. 2 classification system is used in Tables 1 and 4. (The national classification system that was used up to and including the Q4 2011 QNA results that were published in March 2012 was replaced with the Nace Rev. 2 classification system in the Q1 2012 results published in July 2012).

The results for the economy are shown for 10 sectors (Nace A10) at Basic Prices. The contents of the sectors conform to the Nace Rev. 2 system.  The “Publishing” and “Software” industries are classified in the sector “Information and communication.”

In Tables 1 and 4 the following is the correspondence with the relevant sections of Nace Rev. 2:

Tables 1 and 4 show a full A10 breakdown which replaces the five sectors used up to QNA Q4 2016. The correspondence with the relevant sections of NACE Rev.2 is as follows:

Agriculture, forestry and fishing Section A
Industry (excluding Construction) Sections B,C,D,E
Of which: Manufacturing Section C
Construction Section F
Distribution, transport, hotels and restaurants Sections G,H,I
Information and communication Section J
Financial and insurance activities Section K
Real estate activities Section L
Professional, admin and support services Sections M,N
Public admin, education and health Sections O,P,Q
Arts, entertainment and other services Sections R,S,T

Current Price

For the annual accounts, GDP at current prices is calculated using two independent approaches i.e. the income and expenditure methods. On a quarterly basis, it is not possible to compile a reliable income based estimate. The estimates in current prices are on the expenditure basis only and these are supplied in Table 2. The balancing item (i.e. the statistical discrepancy) which is required to adjust the expenditure based estimate to the definitive measure of GDP (the average of income and expenditure) has been projected forward into 2017 in line with the trend in the aggregate of all the other expenditure items.

Volumes

At constant prices, two measures (output and expenditure) are used. These measures are produced using annual chain linked indices. On the output side, for each quarter, the volume growth measures at a detailed level are weighted together using value added weights of the previous year. Similarly, on the expenditure side, the growth estimates are weighted by expenditure weights of the previous year.  The average of the two measures is the growth measure used. The change over a period of years is then calculated by linking together the annual changes. The estimates in this release are referenced to 2015 values. A consequence of this method is that the individual components of GDP at reference year values do not add to the total.

Definitions

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) represents the total value added (output) in the production of goods and services in the country.

Net factor income from the rest of the world (NFI) is the difference between investment income (interest, profits etc.) and labour income earned abroad by Irish resident persons and companies (inflows) and similar incomes earned in Ireland by non-residents (outflows). The data are taken from the Balance of Payments statistics that are based on the BPM6 framework. The components of interest flows involving banks in the Net factor income item in the national accounts are constructed on the basis of “pure” interest rates (that is exclusive of FISIM).  Under BPM5 based Balance of Payments data released previously, this FISIM adjustment was not carried out. However, under the BPM6 framework introduced in 2014, FISIM is now being treated as part of financial services, rather than income, bringing it into line with the treatment of FISIM in national accounts statistics. The deflator used to generate the constant price figures is based on the implied quarterly price index for the exports of goods and services. In some years exceptional income payments have had to be deflated individually.

Gross National Product (GNP) is the sum of GDP and NFI. Because NFI is the difference between two large gross flows, its magnitude can fluctuate greatly from one quarter to another. This can lead to significant differences between the GDP and GNP growth rate for the same quarter.

Methodology

Table 1: Output Measure

The estimation procedures are similar to those used for the annual accounts whenever possible.  However, in a number of cases the annual methodology cannot be followed due to the lack of relevant data quarterly.

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing

The estimate for Agriculture is calculated by using the available sub-annual information for exports and slaughterings of animals, milk deliveries, stock changes (six-monthly), fertiliser and feeding stuffs usage etc. For some items, annual figures are distributed equally across the quarters. Monthly sea fish landings are used to estimate the quarterly output of fishing.

Industry 

The gross value added of manufacturing industry is calculated by applying monthly volume of production indices to the previous year's quarterly gross value added, including royalties. Royalties are separately deflated using the export price index and then deducted.

Construction

Changes in the volume of investment in construction projects are used to estimate the output of the building and construction sector.

Distribution, Transport, Hotels & Restaurants

For distribution the methods used are similar to those used for the annual calculation. They rely heavily on the retail sales indices and other CSO services inquiries. In the case of transport, most of the output measures used for the annual calculations are available on a quarterly basis.

Information and communication

For communications the main data sources are direct inquiries to the service suppliers, with additional data and trend estimation for some residual components.

Public Administration, Education and Health

The quarterly estimate of value added for public administration and defence, education and health sector has been calculated based on the employment trends in the various elements of the sector.

Financial and insurance activities, Real estate activities, Professional, admin and support services and Arts, entertainment and other services

The remaining services categories cover a variety of service activities, some of which are surveyed on a quarterly basis by the CSO. For some services, information on outputs is not directly available on a quarterly basis. In most of these cases, quarterly estimates are derived using trends in related indicators. In a small number of residual cases, annual estimates are distributed equally across the quarters.

Product Taxes and Product Subsidies

Taxes and subsidies are deflated at a detailed level using appropriate price indices.  Value added taxes and excise duties have been accrued and recorded in the period in which the underlying expenditure took place.

Net factor income from the rest of the world (NFI)

The value of net income flows with the rest of the world in the Quarterly National Accounts release is generally consistent with the published Balance of Payments statistics.

Tables 2 and 3: Expenditure Measures

The various components of the expenditure based measure of GDP are defined in the annual National Income and Expenditure publication. The methods used for the quarterly series are similar to those used for the annual where possible but in many cases alternative methods have been applied.

Personal Consumption Expenditure is estimated using CSO data, such as the Retail Sales Indices together with some direct inquiries. Administrative data sources are used for some goods such as fuel and power products and motor vehicles. Constant price estimates are obtained using components of the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Net Expenditure by Central and Local Government at current market prices is estimated using Government records. From Q2 of 2009 it is calculated net of the public sector pension levy introduced in March 2009. The constant price estimates of remuneration are derived by extrapolating base year estimates using an index of employment or using appropriate deflators for wages and are unaffected by the pension levy which is treated as a reduction in wage rates. Expenditure on goods and services is deflated partly by consumer price indices and partly by wholesale price indices.

Gross Domestic Fixed Capital Formation at current market prices includes expenditure on building and construction work and machinery and equipment. The quarterly estimates of dwellings are based on data from the Department of Environment’s (DoE) Quarterly Housing Bulletin. Information on other building and construction is based on the CSO’s quarterly index of production in Building and Construction. Quarterly estimates of commercial vehicles used in the business sector are estimated using administrative data. Estimates of other machinery and equipment and R&D (included under ESA 2010 standards) are made by reference to import statistics and the CSO Quarterly Capital Assets in Industry Inquiry. Current estimates are deflated to prices of the previous year using appropriate price indices such as components of the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and indices for construction activity.

Value of Physical Changes in Stocks at current pricescovers stock changes in the agricultural, industrial and distribution sectors and in intervention stocks. This item measures the actual value change in stocks between the beginning and end of quarter adjusted for any changes in the prices of the underlying commodities. Data on industrial and distribution stocks are taken from published and unpublished components of the CSO Quarterly Stocks Inquiry. Agricultural stocks are estimated from the results of CSO’s agricultural enumerations and statistics on animal slaughterings, etc. Constant price estimates are calculated by deflating the current estimates using relevant price indices and price data on agricultural and intervention stocks. Some adjustments have been made to the stocks values to improve the coherence of the quarterly accounts. These are judgmental adjustments to allow for within-year timing differences between the output and expenditure measures. Over a calendar year, these adjustments are neutral.

Exports and Imports of Goods and Services at current prices are taken from the CSO Balance of Payments series. Current price estimates are converted to previous year prices using the available price indices, including export and import unit value indices.

Seasonal Adjustment

Seasonal adjustment is conducted using the direct seasonal adjustment approach. Under this approach, each individual time series is independently adjusted, i.e. aggregate series are adjusted without reference to the component series. This direct approach is applied to GDP and GNP and the seasonally adjusted GDP and GNP are not derived as the sum of the seasonally adjusted components (such as Personal Consumption, Exports etc.) but rather by seasonally adjusting the unadjusted values of GDP and GNP as shown in Tables 1 - 3. On this account, and also because of the statistical discrepancy in the original series, the sum of the seasonally adjusted components of GDP and GNP do not add to the respective seasonally adjusted GDP and GNP series. As part of the seasonal adjustment process, ARIMA models are identified for each series based on unadjusted data spanning Q1 1997 to Q1 2017. These models are then applied to the entire series (Q1 1997 to Q2 2017). Seasonal factors and the parameters of the ARIMA models are updated each quarter.

The adjustments are completed by applying the X-13-ARIMA model, developed by the U.S. Census Bureau to the unadjusted data.  This methodology estimates seasonal factors while also taking into consideration factors that impact on the quality of the seasonal adjustment such as:

• Calendar effects, e.g. the timing of Easter,

• Outliers, temporary changes and level shifts in the series. 

For additional information on the use of X-13-ARIMA see https://www.census.gov/srd/www/winx13/
