Supply & Use Tables (SUT)
• Supply and use tables record
▫ The total supply of goods and services
in the economy – Supply table
▫ How that supply is allocated whether for
intermediate or final use or export – Use
table
• Presented in the form of matrices
Supply & Use Tables (SUT)
• SUT serves to provide a more detailed basis for
analysing industries and products.
• Provides a framework for consistency checking
of statistical data from different sources.
• First step in preparing input-output tables

Construction of SUT in Jamaica
• Supply and Use tables were constructed
for the years 2000 and 2007
• Work on 2011 SUT is schedule to start in
2013
• Working level- 301 commodity groups
76 industries
• Published – 57 commodity groups
53 industries
Construction of SUT in Jamaica
• Data Sources:
▫ Detailed financial statements of
establishments
▫ Merchandise trade
▫ Production accounts from the national
accounts estimates
▫ Balance of payments
Construction of SUT in Jamaica
• Data Sources:
▫ Household expenditure survey
▫ Government estimates of expenditure
▫ Special surveys from commodity boards
Construction of SUT in Jamaica
• Balancing done at the most detailed level
• SUT has become an integral part of the
national accounts compilation process
• Used to check the consistency of the
national accounts estimates
• Used as the benchmark for the national
accounts
Input-Output Table
• Input-Output tables were also developed
from SUT compiled in 2000 and 2007
• Input-Output tables are industry by
industry, published – 53 industries
• Used by stakeholders for analytical
purposes – integrated into macroeconomic
models
• SUT IO for publication.xls
