Key:

AV = (gross) added value2

CF = compensation of factors

CT = current transfers


D = aggregate demand

DS = (gross) domestic saving

EX = exports


KT = capital transfers

nL/B = net lending/borrowing3

NP = national product4

nta = other net taxes on production

ntp = net taxes on products

P = production value

2 In accordance with the SNA’s production account, this is equal to GDP at market prices minus net indirect
taxes (on products and production) (Santos 2003a, pp. 11-12).

3 This has the opposite mathematical sign to the net lending/borrowing of the SNA’s capital account, which
considers capital transfers as uses of that capital (Santos 2003a, pp. 15-16).

4 In accordance with the SNA’s primary distribution of income accounts, this is equal to gross national income
minus taxes on production and imports received by national institutions, net of subsidies paid by national
institutions (Santos 2003a, pp. 12-13).
