Table 2.1 below contains an aggregated version of the 2019 Use Table at current purchasers' prices. Total Intermediate Consumption by industry and product was €390 billion in 2019. Subtracting total Intermediate Consumption by industry and product from total Domestic Supply (also called Output) by industry and product of €724 billion leaves Gross Value Added (GVA) of €334 billion euros. Total GVA was composed of Compensation of Employees of €101 billion, Gross Operating Surplus of €231 billion and Taxes less Subsidies on Production (such as commercial rates and employment subsidies respectively) of €1.4 billion.
The Use Table also contains Final Uses. Final Consumption Expenditure was mostly made by households and was €146 billion in 2019. A second item of Final Uses is Capital Formation (including changes in Inventories). This was valued at €197 billion in 2019. The final item of Final Uses is Exports. Exports (valued as free on board, i.e. exclusive of insurance and freight costs) were €451 billion.
Adding Intermediate Consumption to Final Uses equals Total Uses. Total Uses were €1.2 trillion in 2019. This is the same number as the sum of Total Supply. Total Supply must equal Total Uses.
