IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation Programme1.2.1. GDP by the Production ApproachThere are two types of main data sources used for GDP estimations by productionapproach: statistical and administrative data. The main statistical sources are AnnualStructural Business Survey (SBS - for non financial and non-agriculture enterprises), thatcover the largest part of economic activities (Industry, Construction, Trade and Hotels,Transports, Telecommunications and one part of Services); Quarterly surveys onenterprises (Industry, Construction, Retail Trade, partial services ) carried out by INSTAT.Other surveys cover the activities of agriculture, forestry and fishing carried out byMinistry of Agriculture.Administrative data sources are annual accounting statements of enterprises, which arecollected by the General Directorate of Taxation; governmental data coming from Ministryof Finances, where data are related to the revenues and expenditures for all budgetaryinstitutions.Other data sources are: financial statements of monetary institutions that are collected bythe Bank of Albania; financial statements of insurance undertakings collected by theFinancial Supervision Authority; file of sales, collected by Tax Administration for thepurpose of value added tax (VAT).1.2.2 GDP by the Expenditure ApproachDuring the estimation of the household’s final consumption expenditure a lot of data isused, generally coming from Household Budget Survey, Retail Trade Survey, etc.Final consumption expenditure of general government is estimated using administrativedata from the Ministry of Finances.The estimation of gross fixed capital formation is based on a set of various data, where themost important is data from statistical surveys (SBS), customs statement, data from annualaccounting statements of enterprises, data from Ministries.Changes in inventories are estimated by using annual accounting statements of enterprises.The main source for estimation of exports and imports of goods and services is based onthe balance of payments compiled by Bank of Albania and statistics of foreign trade.1.3. Accounts preparedNo system of national accounts is created in Albania, but only the main variables of thissystem using the production account such as output, intermediate consumption and valueadded GDP.1.4 ClassificationsBelow is given an outline of the principal nomenclatures used to establish the nationalaccounts, as well as the relationship between these nomenclatures and the Europeannomenclatures mentioned in the SEC 1995.Nomenclatures used in the production approach14/236
IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeGDP data by industrial activity (25 activities) is compiled by using the EuropeanClassification of Economic Activities (NACE Rev 1) of Eurostat. The NACE classificationused in Albania is the same as the original version of NACE classification of Eurostat.However the economic activities according the NACE REV 1 are regrouped in the level of25 main activities for the needs of NAD. Table 1.1 presents the way how NACE 4 digitlevel is grouped at the level of 25 economic activities.For the dissemination purposes, those 25 activities are regrouped into 7 major industrialactivities:1. Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry2. Total Industry• Extracting Industry• Manufacturing Industry3. Construction4. Trade, Hotels and Restaurants,5. Transport6. Post and Communications7. Other Services.The level of synthetic economic activities, known as level 25 or level 7, is a combination ofclasses and NACE groups, organized to reveal representative sets in the context of theeconomic analysis. Thus the activities of manufacturing industry are regrouped in order toeasily identify intermediate industries of goods, capital goods industries, and industries ofconsumer goods. This nomenclature is articulated well with those used in the analysis ofthe economic situation. (See the Table 1.1)Nomenclatures used in the expenditure approachThe classification of Individual Consumption (COICOP) and the classification of theFunctions of Government (COFOG) have been used in the national accounts. ThePRODCOM is not used for the PPI; actually Classification of Products by Activity (CPA)is used. The nomenclatures used for the exports and imports of goods are: the HarmonizedCommodity Description and Coding System (HS) and Standard International TradeClassification (SITC).The Harmonized Commodity Description and the Coding System(Harmonized System, or HS) or extended versions based on HS, such as the CombinedNomenclature used by our country provide such details. Classification using thesenomenclatures is based on the nature of the commodity.Commodity categories that are more apt for economic analysis are provided by theStandard International Trade Classification (SITC), which classifies commoditiesaccording to their stage of production.15/236
