Quarterly GDP and components - expenditure approach, real growth rates and contributions to real growth

This table presents growth rates for Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and its main components according to the expenditure approach, as well as the contribution to GDP growth of each of the components (in percentage points). In the expenditure approach, the components of GDP are: final consumption expenditure of households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH) plus final consumption expenditure of General Government plus gross fixed capital formation (or investment) plus net trade (exports minus imports).


When using the filters, please note that final consumption expenditure is shown separately for the Households/NPISH and General Government sectors, not for the whole economy. All other components of GDP are shown for the whole economy, not for the sector breakdowns.

The growth rates for GDP and its main components shown in this table are the same as those shown in Quarterly real GDP growth - OECD countries, but here the contributions of the components to real GDP growth are also shown for the G7 countries and the OECD total.

These indicators were presented in the previous dissemination system in the QNA dataset.
