About this data
The Use table at basic prices can be split into a Domestic Use table and an Import Use table (also called imports matrix). This dataset describes the use of imported goods and services in the economy by product and by type of use, distinguishing between intermediate consumption (use of a product as input into a production process) and various categories of final demand such as consumption, investment and exports. The Import Use table is organized in a matrix format: The columns provide information about the type of use and consist of intermediate consumption by economic activity (at the 2-digit level of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC) Rev 4, containing 89 industries); final consumption expenditure of households, general government and non-profit institutions serving households; investment or gross capital formation (broken down between gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, acquisitions less disposals of valuables); and exports. The rows provide a breakdown by product (using the comparable European breakdown Classification of Products by Activities (CPA) breakdown). The dataset has been prepared from statistics reported to the OECD by countries in their answers to the annual Supply and Use questionnaire. Information about data availability is available in SUT updates The dataset corresponds to SNA_TABLE43 dataset in the previous dissemination system. A mapping between the new codes and previous codes is available in SUT_USEBP_Codes_mapping The file SUT_Tips contains further suggestions on how to navigate and use the various Supply and Use tables (SUTs) in the new dissemination system.
