go to full release

Detailed annual national accounts show that Gross National Product (GNP) increased by 3.3% in constant prices between 2012 and 2013.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 0.2% over the same period. The present release is based on more complete and up to date data than that which was available when the Q4 2013 estimates were published in March 2014. The 2012/2013 volume changes indicated at that stage were GDP (-0.3%) and GNP (+3.4%).

The results are compiled for the first time in accordance with the latest EU standard framework, ESA 2010.

Growth by sector in 2013

Two of the five main sectors distinguished in Table 4 showed positive growth in 2013. The Agriculture, forestry and fishing sector advanced by 5.5% and Other services by 2.4%. Industry (including building) decreased in aggregate by 1.4% while the distribution, transport, software and communication sectors fell by 5.2%. Public administration and defence shrank, for the fifth year in succession, in 2013 by 2.2%.

Exports up 1.1% in 2013 on the expenditure side

On the expenditure side of the accounts exports grew by 1.1% between 2012 and 2013 (Table 6, at constant prices). Imports increased also, by 0.6%, over the same period. The results for gross fixed capital formation are higher for all years; under ESA2010, research & development (R&D) expenditure is now recognised as capital investment. Its growth rate in 2013 from the higher level was –2.4%. Personal consumption expenditure declined by 0.8% while the value of stocks increased for the third year in a row. Government net current expenditure rose by 1.4%, the first increase for five years.

The data in tables 1-7 in the previously released “National Income and Expenditure Annual Results 2013” has been revised.  The principal items affected are Net Factor Income from the rest of the world, Gross and Net National Product, Gross National Income, Gross National Disposable Income and Gross and Net National Savings. The data inconsistencies relate to the incorrect classification of the newly termed Primary and Secondary Income from the rest of the World.  Theses inconsistencies were discovered  in the follow- up analysis of the NIE data for the compilation of the Institutional Sector Accounts.  There were substantial methodological changes arising from the implementation of the European System of Accounts 2010 and the Balance of Payments 6th Manual in the accounts for 2013.  CSO regrets any inconvenience caused to our users.

Background Notes

Introduction

This release contains the first detailed results of the main National Accounts aggregates and their
components for 2013. It includes revisions for all years from 2008 to 2012. The estimates for the
most recent years, especially 2013, are based on provisional indicators for the different
aggregates and are subject to revision. (A preliminary estimate of the 2013 outturn was already
provided in the quarterly accounts release for Q4).

National accounts are compiled in the EU according to the European System of National and Regional Accounts (ESA) framework. In 2014, the new ESA 2010 framework will replace the current ESA 95 version and all EU member states are 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 results for all years in this release are published on an ESA 2010 basis. For Ireland, the ESA 2010 change with the greatest impact on gross domestic product (GDP) is the new treatment of research and development (R&D) expenditure.  Under ESA95, R&D expenditure was treated as an ancillary cost to the main production of an enterprise. Under ESA2010, R&D expenditure is recognised as capital investment.

In addition to the ESA 2010 changes, the results include additional estimates for illegal economic activities in line with the requirement from the European statistical agency, Eurostat to include such estimates in the National Accounts before September 2014.

Nace Classification

In compliance with EU regulations the NACE Rev. 2 classification system is used in tables 2 to
4. This change was introduced in the National Income and Expenditure 2011 release. The NACE Rev. 2 replaces the national classification system which was used up to NIE10.

The results for the economy continue to be shown for five sectors whose titles remain the same as
in previous releases and publications. However the contents of the sectors conform to the NACE
Rev. 2 system.

One of the main changes resulting from the NACE Rev. 2 classification is that the “Publishing”
industry has been reclassified from “Industry” to the sector “Distribution, transport, software and
communication”. This latter sector now also contains the “Hotels and catering sector” which had
previously been included in the “Other Services” sector. The “Software” industry was also
included in “Other Services” in the old National Classification but is now part of the new category
“Distribution, transport, software and communication” in the NACE Rev 2 classification. The
overall effect on the tables has been that the “Distribution, transport, software and
communication” sector accounts now for a much larger share of the total GVA of the economy
than in the old national system while the sectors classified as “Industry” and “Other Services”
account for a lower share.

In tables 2 to 4 the following is the correspondence with the relevant sections of Nace Rev. 2:

Agriculture, forestry and fishing Section A
Industry Sections B to F
Distribution, transport, software and communication Sections G to J
Public Administration and Defence Section O
Other Services Sections K to N and P to U

Methodology

In Ireland, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at current prices is calculated using two approaches
viz. the income and expenditure approaches. The main components of the income estimate are (1)
profits of companies and of the self-employed, (2) remuneration of employees (wages, salaries,
pensions and employers’ contributions to social insurance) and (3) rent of dwellings (imputed in
the case of owner-occupied). Adjustments are made in respect of stock appreciation (to eliminate
the effect of price changes on the level of stocks). On the expenditure side estimates are made of
personal expenditure on consumers’ goods and services, expenditure by public authorities on
current goods and services, gross domestic fixed capital formation and the value of physical
changes in stocks. The value of exports is then added and imports are deducted.

The two approaches (income and expenditure) should theoretically give the same answer.
However, they will always diverge to some extent as they are measured using different data
sources. The components of the two original estimates are shown unadjusted. The official level
of GDP is taken to be an average of the expenditure and income estimates and a balancing item is
displayed which is half of the difference between the two estimates. This is the amount by which
both estimates have to be adjusted to agree with the official level of GDP.

Volumes

At constant prices, two measures (output and expenditure) are used. These measures are being
produced using annual chain linked indices. On the output side, for each pair of successive years,
the volume growth measures at a detailed level are weighted together using value added weights
of the first year. Similarly, on the expenditure side, annual growth estimates are weighted by
previous year expenditure weights. The average of the two measures is the official 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 2012 values.

FISIM

The revenue from the margin on lending and borrowing by financial intermediaries (mostly
banks) is called financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM). This margin is
taken as the output of non-invoiced services produced by these financial intermediaries and has
been included in the calculation of GDP since the publication of the 2004 annual results and the
Q1 2005 quarterly results in July 2005.

The estimates in this release are based on more detailed and more recent data than that available at the time of publishing the quarterly estimates for 2013. In particular they incorporate revisions to the Balance of Payments figures for recent years and revised unit value indices for merchandise trade.

Quarterly Accounts

A quarterly national accounts release incorporating these latest annual results for the quarters of 2013 and earlier years is also being published today. This includes an estimate for the first quarter of 2014. The previously published estimates for the quarters of earlier years are also revised.

Definitions

Gross Value Added at factor cost

is equal to the sum of the values of the goods and services (or parts thereof) produced in the country without deducting an amount in respect of capital consumption (i.e. depreciation). It excludes taxes on production and includes subsidies on production.

Net Value added at factor cost

is equal to Gross Value Added at factor cost minus depreciation.

Gross Domestic Product at market prices

is equal to Gross Value Added at factor cost plus taxes on production less subsidies on production. It represents total expenditure on the output of goods and services produced in the country and valued at the prices at which the expenditure is incurred.

Gross National Product at factor cost

is equal to Gross Value Added at factor cost plus net factor income from the rest of the world and represents the total of all payments for productive services accruing to the permanent residents of the country. Some income accrues to Irish residents as a result of economic activity abroad or property held abroad while some income arising in the state is paid to non-residents.

Gross National Income at market prices

is equal to Gross National Product at market prices plus EU subsidies less EU taxes.  This is more commonly described as being equal to Gross Domestic Product plus net primary incomes from abroad.
