Features of the 1993 System on National Accounts (SNA) ans its implementation in African countries

Abstract

The Production Account relates to the activity of producing goods and services as defined within the System. Its balancing item, gross value added, is defined as the value of output less the value of intermediate consumption and is a measure of the contribution of GDP made by an individual producer, industry or sector. Gross value added is the source from which the primary incomes of the System are generated and is therefore carried forward into the Primary Distribution of Income Account.
