1(5) Final annul GDP estimate for 2009 The Swedish National Accounts have now been updated with detailed statistical information for 2009. The information is based on the balancing of 400 product groups in the supply and use framework. To calculate the annual accounts, the most detailed information available is used. Compared with the quarterly accounts, the annual accounts use information on output allocated to different product groups, as well as intermediate consumption allocated to activity. Such information is not available in the quarterly accounts. An important difference between the quarterly and annual accounts is the possibility in the annual accounts to calculate a value added for each activity, by taking the difference between output and intermediate consumption. Since output is calculated on a detailed level, it is possible to balance the supply and use on each product group. The annual accounts also uses more complete and detailed source data concerning gross fixed capital formation, changes in inventories, as well as household and government final consumption data. Furthermore, in deflating current prices into constant prices, more detailed information is used in the annual accounts - where both output and intermediate consumption are deflated separately. The result on GDP and its major components can be seen in the following table. Changes compared to earlier estimate (volume %) 2009 2009 GDP -5,0-5,2 Household final consumption expenditure -0,3-0,3 Government final consumption expenditure 2,2 1,2 Gross fixed capital formation -15,5-15,9 Changes in inventories, contribution -1,6-1,6 Export -13,8-13,2 Import -14,3-13,8 Value added, market producers and producers for own final use -7,2-7,0 Average number of persons employed, market producers and producers for own final use -2,8-2,1 Hours worked, market producers and producers for own final use -3,9-3,6 The new estimate has resulted in an adjustment of GDP growth from -5.2 percent to -5.0 percent for 2009.
2(5) Changes in the contribution to GDP growth The contribution to GDP growth, allocated to its major components (including indirect imports) has changed in the following way, compared to the preliminary quarterly estimates. Changes in the contribution to GDP growth 2009 2009 Household final consumption expenditure -0.1-0.1 Government final consumption expenditure 0.6 0.3 Gross fixed capital formation -3.1-3.2 Changes in inventories -1.6-1.6 Export -7.4-7.1 Import 6.7 6.5 GDP -5.0-5.2 The contribution of foreign trade, i.e. export minus import, was -0.7 percentage points in 2009. Government final consumption expenditure was the component that changed the most since the preliminary estimate of 2009. Changes in prices Compared to the preliminary quarterly accounts the implicit price index for GDP, or the so-called GDP deflator, has increased from 101.8 to 102.1 for 2009. The value in current prices has increased with approximately 12 billion SEK from 3 094 to 3 106 billion SEK. At the same time the value in constant prices (previous year s prices) has increased with 5 billion SEK. The biggest difference between the preliminary and final deflator is found for gross fixed capital formation and government final consumption expenditure.

All domestic sectors, apart from households sector, showed decreasing net lending during year 2009 compared to 2008. The central government net borrowing was 26 billion SEK in year 2009 meanwhile the municipalities and the country net borrowing was 6 billion and 2 billion SEK in year 2009. Corporations net lending was 87 billion SEK and the household net lending was 151 billion SEK during year 2009 (incl. NPISH). The household real disposable income increased by 2.2 percent and the net disposable income was 1 608 billion SEK in current prices in year 2009, both including NPISH. The overall household sector is published in greater detail commencing from this publication, the real households and the NPISH are now reported as separate sectors. The implementation of NPISH as a separate sector and a revision of the division of the production among companies and own-account workers in the households sector have led to a revision of the entire time series of income and savings foremost for the non-financial corporations sector and the households incl. NPISH. The revisions imply that the income and savings decrease in the overall households sector and increase in the non-financial corporations sector. The real households disposable income, i.e. the households excluding the NPISH, increased with 2.8 percentage in real prices and the nominal (net) disposable income was 1 554 billion SEK during year 2009. The savings rate was 11.2 percent in 2009, which represents an increase by 2.7 percentage points compared to year 2008.

5(5) In general about GDP revisions The diagram below shows the difference between the first and the present GDP estimates for each year. The first GDP estimate is calculated as the sum of four quarters and is published in Mars the following year. The quarterly accounts are based on much more aggregated information and indicators, e.g. sales data where there is no information on the costs structure of production. The annual accounts are based on more detailed information. GDP growth according to the first and present estimate The first preliminary estimates, i.e. quarterly estimates, for the time series before 1999 were based on SNA 68, while the following years are based on SNA 93 and ESA 95. The National Accounts definition has been revised between these manuals. The statistical sources for the National accounts have been improved over time. One example of this is the annual Business statistics, which is from 1997 better adjusted to the National Account purposes. Another example is the quarterly Turnover statistics, which has been extended to include almost all of the services activities. The development of new price indices is a continuous process and new improved indices are introduced into the calculations as they are developed. With this in mind, the diagram shows growth figures from different estimations of GDP growth. As can be seen, the quarterly estimates (see dotted line) have had a tendency to underestimate the growth as compared to the annual estimates. The average change between the first and the present GDP estimates is 0.56 percentage points for the whole period.
