National accountsProduction account

The production account is an illustration of the operations related to the production process (output and intermediate consumption). The balancing item represents the net value added.
The production account is available, at current prices or in percentage change over previous year at prices of preceding year, in three different representations:

• by industries
• by institutional sectors
  
• by economic sectors
  

Adding up the value added of all economic activities, or all institutional sectors, you obtain the value added of the national economy. After adjustments, it corresponds to the gross domestic product.
