• No explicit statistical discrepancy
• Attempt to produce GDP by income
approach

Typical Issues
• Credit issues
– may involve three distinct components
• price of the goods itself- It is Consumption
• expenses of the financial company
making loan: It is Consumption
• interest payments: Not consumption
• No such distinctions are made
• Unincorporated Household Sector
– Spending is intermediate consumption
• No such analysis has been done
General Issues/Limitations
• Systematic Errors
– Sampling error of the survey itself
• Coverage Errors/Uncertinities
– goods and services purchased infrequently
• Economy of Scale
• Supply and Use tables
What's new in Supply and Use
Table
• Independent estimates for change in
stocks for 2004/05
• New level for household consumption
– Estimates for around 52 different good
and services
– Commodity flow approach
– around 5% higher than published one.
– Adjustment for FISIM allocation
Scheduled program
• Follow up consumption survey
• Exploring the VAT and government
account detail
• Separate treatment for
• Infrequent Goods and services bought for final
consumption by households
• Payment to government units to obtain various
kinds of licenses, permits, certificates,
passports
• Explicit and imputed service charges on
household uses of financial intermediation
services provided by banks, insurance
