About this data
This table presents gross value added by economic activity based on detailed breakdowns of Revision 4 of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC). The table also presents detailed ISIC data for output, intermediate consumption and consumption of fixed capital (depreciation), as well as for components of gross value added (GVA) such as wages and salaries and net operating surplus (business profits) and mixed income (profits of the self-employed). These can be selected using the ‘Transaction filter’. The presentation is on a country-by-country basis. Users are recommended to select one country (or area) at a time in the ‘Reference area’ filter. Data is presented for each country in national currency as well as in euros for the European Union and the euro area. Data is presented in current prices (default view), but for some items it is possible to select chain linked volume and other price measures using the ‘Price base’ filter. These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the SNA_TABLE6A dataset.
