United Kingdom · Contributions to GDP growth

What moved GDP from one quarter to the next, in percentage points: household consumption, government consumption, investment, changes in inventories and net trade (exports minus imports). The five bars add up to the quarter's GDP growth (volume, seasonally adjusted). Quarterly national accounts: Eurostat (namq_10_gdp) for EU countries, OECD for the others.· Contributions to the change in GDP volume vs the previous quarter, in percentage points, seasonally and calendar adjusted (Eurostat, namq_10_gdp, unit CON_PPCH_PRE, for France, Germany, Italy and the EU; OECD Quarterly National Accounts for the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Japan). The five bars add up to the quarter’s GDP growth, up to rounding; the total shows in the tooltip. Net trade = exports minus imports: rising imports pull it down.· Changes in inventories swing widely from quarter to quarter and absorb part of the statistical discrepancies; they often offset net trade (imports put into stock weigh on one and support the other). Read the two together.· For this country the contributions come from the OECD Quarterly National Accounts (DF_QNA_EXPENDITURE_CONTRIB), which carry the national statistical office’s figures. Household consumption includes non-profit institutions; inventories include valuables. The five bars may differ from published GDP growth by up to 0.2 point (statistical discrepancy, rounding: Japan publishes to one decimal); the headline figure is the published GDP growth.· Licence : OECD terms and conditions · source: OECD, Quarterly National Accounts
