September Quarter 2011 – Key Points

Quarterly Results

• Queensland gross state product (GSP) rose 0.8 per cent in September quarter 2011, following an increase of 0.6 per cent in June quarter 2011. In comparison, Rest of Australia recorded growth of 0.7 per cent in September quarter 2011.

• Gross state expenditure (a measure of domestic demand) strengthened further, rising 2.4 per cent in the September quarter, following an increase of 2.3 per cent in June quarter 2011.

• Offsetting the rise in domestic demand, the Queensland trade sector detracted 2.1 percentage points from economic growth in the September quarter. Higher imports of goods and services (up 7.0 per cent) detracted from Queensland’s growth and more than

offset the contribution from higher exports (up 1.4 per cent).

Revised 2010-11 Outcome

This September quarter 2011 edition of the Queensland State Accounts contains revised estimates for Queensland’s economic performance in 2010-11. While the revised estimates have changed several components, Queensland’s overall growth estimate for 2010-11 is unchanged at 0.2 per cent.

Notes and revisions in this Issue

The September quarter 2011 issue of the Queensland State Accounts incorporates significant revisions due to the ABS implementing a full historical revision cycle in the Australian National Accounts: State Accounts, 2010-11 (ABS 5220.0) release. Data were revised through the entire time series and reflects the incorporation of new source data and improvements to compilation methods.

For more information on these revisions, see Information Paper: Upcoming changes to the Australian System of National Accounts, Australia, 2010-11 (ABS 5204.0.55.007).

Expenditure on GSP – Main Features

Household Final Consumption Expenditure

Quarterly Results (Trend, CVM)

• Queensland household final consumption expenditure increased 1.1 per cent in real trend terms in September quarter 2011, contributing 0.6 percentage point to GSP growth. This is the strongest quarterly consumption growth since December quarter 2007.

• Growth in household consumption was mainly driven by higher expenditure on recreation and culture (up 4.8 per cent), followed by food, and hotels, cafes and restaurants. These more than offset minor detractions by clothing and footwear, and furnishings and household equipment.

• In comparison, household consumption in the Rest of Australia recorded growth of 1.0 per cent, contributing 0.6 percentage point to growth in the Rest of Australia in the September quarter.

Quarterly Results (Trend, CVM)

• Queensland dwelling investment rose further in September quarter 2011 (up 3.0 per cent), following a 0.8 per cent increase in June quarter 2011.

• Growth in dwelling investment was largely driven by a rise in alterations and additions (up 5.6 per cent) and, to a lesser extent, new and used dwelling investment (up 0.4 per cent).

• In contrast, dwelling investment in the Rest of Australia fell 0.8 per cent in the September quarter, following a decline of 0.9 per cent in the previous quarter.

Annual Results (Trend, CVM)

• Queensland dwelling investment decreased 8.7 per cent over the year to September quarter 2011, following a decline of 16.0 per cent over the year to June quarter 2011. This is the fifth consecutive annual decline in dwelling investment. Dwelling investment detracted 0.5 percentage point from annual GSP growth in September quarter 2011.

• The annual decrease was driven by a 17.7 per cent decline in new and used dwellings investment, which more than offset a 1.3 per cent increase in alterations and additions.

• In comparison, dwelling investment in the Rest of Australia fell 1.0 per cent over the year to September quarter 2011, a turnaround from the increase of 1.9 per cent over the year to June quarter 2011.

Annual Results (Trend, CVM)

• Queensland business investment increased by a record 59.3 per cent over the year to September quarter 2011, following a 48.0 per cent increase over the year to June quarter 2011.

• Investment rose in both non-dwelling construction (up 76.5 per cent) and machinery and equipment (up 41.1 per cent) resulting in business investment contributing 7.5 percentage points to Queensland GSP growth over the year to September quarter 2011.

1 In March quarter 2007, estimates for Rest of Australia are affected by a trend break following the privatisation of Telstra. Additionally, in December quarter 2009, Tarong Energy completed the acquisition of the remaining 50 per cent of Tarong North Power Station not already owned and this transaction has been excluded from the underlying trend estimate for Queensland. Finally, in December quarter 2010, the Queensland Government floated QR National and sold a 99-year lease on the Port of Brisbane. Users should interpret the trend estimate of business investment with caution around this period.

Public Final Demand

Quarterly Results (Trend, CVM)

Queensland public final demand (comprised of general government consumption and investment and public corporations investment), decreased 1.7 per cent in September quarter 2011, following a decrease of 1.1 per cent in the previous quarter. Public final demand detracted 0.4 percentage point from GSP growth in the September quarter.

• The decrease in public final demand was driven by reductions in all three components with lower general government consumption (down 1.0 per cent), and lower public corporations investment (down 8.2 per cent) and general government investment (down 1.3 per cent).

• In comparison, public final demand in the Rest of Australia fell 0.5 per cent in the September quarter.

Annual Results (Trend, CVM)

• Queensland public final demand decreased 3.8 per cent over the year to September quarter 2011, detracting 1.0 percentage point from GSP growth. This was due to both lower general government investment (down 5.5 per cent) and lower public corporations investment (down 29.0 per cent) offsetting higher general government consumption (up 0.7 per cent).

• Public final demand in the Rest of Australia fell 0.6 per cent over the year to September quarter 2011, a turnaround from growth of 0.4 per cent over the year to June quarter 2011.

This September quarter 2011 edition of the Queensland State Accounts contains revised estimates for Queensland’s economic performance in 2010-11. While the revised estimates have changed several components, Queensland’s overall growth estimate for 2010-11 is unchanged at 0.2 per cent.

This below long-run average growth was largely due to the adverse impacts of natural disasters in March quarter 2011. In comparison, year-average growth for Rest of Australia was 2.4 per cent in 2010-11.

(revised) Queensland Rest of Australia

A rebound in domestic demand, which contributed 3.6 percentage points to Queensland’s economic growth in 2010-11, was partially offset by a 3.5 percentage points detraction from the trade sector.

Modest growth in household final consumption expenditure, up 2.4 per cent in 2010-11, contributed 1.3 percentage points to GSP in 2010-11.

Dwelling investment remained weak, declining further by 14.4 per cent and detracting 0.9 percentage point from GSP in 2010-11.

A strong rebound in business investment, up 22.3 per cent in 2010-11 following a decline of 18.9 per cent in 2009-10, contributed 2.7 percentage points to Queensland GSP growth. Both components of business investment rose. Non-dwelling construction was up 30.4 per cent, driven mainly by a resources-related surge in engineering construction, and machinery and equipment rose 13.8 per cent.

Public final demand rose a marginal 0.1 per cent in 2010-11, with growth in general government consumption more than offset by lower public corporations investment and

general government investment. Public corporation investment declined by 9.9 per cent and detracted 0.3 percentage point from GSP growth in 2010-11. Following several years of very strong growth, general government investment declined 7.2 per cent, detracting 0.4 percentage point from Queensland’s economic growth in 2010-11.

The trade sector (net exports) detracted 3.5 percentage points from Queensland’s economic growth in 2010-11, a turnaround from a contribution of 2.4 percentage points in 2009-10. The adverse impact of natural disasters on commodity production and transportation resulted in a record decline in exports of goods and services (down 7.9 per cent). Imports also detracted from Queensland’s growth, rising 3.0 per cent in 2010-11.

Gross Rest of Australia product increased 2.4 per cent in 2010-11. Growth for the Rest of Australia was driven by domestic demand, which was partly offset by a detraction from net exports.

Explanatory Notes

Revisions in this Issue

The September quarter 2011 issue of the Queensland State Accounts incorporates significant revisions due to the ABS implementing a full historical revision cycle in the Australian National Accounts: State Accounts, 2010-11 (ABS 5220.0) release. Data were revised through the entire time series and reflects the incorporation of new source data and improvements to compilation methods.

For more information on these revisions, see Information Paper: Upcoming changes to the Australian System of National Accounts, Australia, 2010-11 (ABS 5204.0.55.007).

Overview

The Queensland State Accounts are compiled in accordance with the international standards contained in the System of National Accounts 2008 (SNA08).

Readers interested in more detailed information on the changes to national and state accounts are referred to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian National Accounts: Concepts, Sources and Methods, 2000 (ABS 5216.0) and the following ABS information papers:

Australian National Accounts, Introduction of Chain Volume and Price Indexes, Sep 1997

(ABS 5248.0); and

Product changes to Australian System of National Accounts following revisions to international standards, 2009 (ABS 5204.0.55.005).

The broad structure of the Queensland State Accounts is that of a social accounting matrix comprising two regions: Queensland and the Rest of Australia. This enables the appropriate comparison to be made of the performance of Queensland with respect to the performance of the rest of the nation, rather than with Australia as a whole. This publication reports only on the domestic production accounts of these two regions.

The Queensland State Accounts are designed to allow consolidation of the two regions into the single region of Australia. The Australian National Accounts, produced by the ABS, form a clear national framework and set of estimates, with which the Queensland State Accounts is congruent.

The ABS also produces the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0). The Queensland State Accounts uses as much Queensland information contained in this ABS publication as is appropriate and relevant. However, since the purpose of the Queensland State Accounts is to measure the structure and performance of the Queensland economy as accurately and comprehensively as possible, it significantly extends the information contained in the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product series. Since this extension is feasible in the case of a single State, especially one with the statistical resources of Queensland, the Queensland State Accounts is not necessarily bound to agree exactly with any ABS estimates. Nevertheless, the quality of the Australian National Accounts is such that the Queensland State Accounts

estimates are generally and routinely benchmarked to them. In all cases, the ABS estimates are taken into strong initial consideration.

The major extension of the domestic production account in the Queensland State Accounts system is the addition of estimates of interstate trade in goods and trade in services. This enables the system to derive quarterly estimates of gross state product in volume terms. As well, this provides a more comprehensive understanding of Queensland’s overall trade performance, and replaces the more limited understanding provided by the common misperception of overseas State trade as total State trade.

Methodology

The estimates in the Queensland State Accounts generally agree with those of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0) when available, except in cases where the Office of Economic and Statistical Research (OESR) has improved on ABS estimates. These improvements generally arise from data confrontation exercises which involve alternative sources of evidence or information, and which often involve the input of further primary information.

Chain Volume Measures

The chain volume measures appearing in this issue are annually re-weighted chained Laspeyres indexes referenced to the current price in a reference year, currently 2009-10. Chained Laspeyres volume measures are compiled by linking together (compounding) movements in volumes, calculated by using the average prices of the previous financial year, and applying the compounded movements to the current price estimates of the reference year. Quarterly chain volume estimates are benchmarked to annual chain volume estimates, so that the quarterly estimates for a financial year sum to the corresponding annual estimate.

Chain volume measures are not generally additive. They do not sum in total, in the way original current price components do. To minimise this impact, the ABS uses the year preceding the last full financial year as the reference year. This approach means that the chain volume measures are additive in the reference year (currently 2009-10) and the quarters following the reference year. However, the chain volume measures are not additive in the quarters preceding the reference year.

Compensation of employees

The estimate of compensation of employees (COE) is largely based on ABS estimates in Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0).

However, for the period September quarter 1993 to December quarter 1995, the OESR estimate of COE differs from that published by the ABS in Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0). The OESR is of the opinion that the compensation of employees (COE) series published in the ABS 5206.0 under-recorded COE from this period. As a result, in the period starting from September quarter 1993 and ending December quarter 1995, the average of the quarterly movements in average weekly earnings, and survey of employment and earnings is combined with the number of wage and salary earners to derive the COE series published in the Queensland State Accounts.

Gross operating surplus and gross mixed income

OESR uses indicators of activity to estimate Queensland’s share of the five components of Australia’s gross operating surplus and mixed income (GOS/MI). Since March quarter 2001, State data from the ABS publication Business Indicators: Australia (ABS 5276.0) has been used to estimate the share for private non-financial corporations. These estimates are benchmarked to the annual ABS estimates contained in Australian National Accounts, State Accounts 2010-11 (ABS 5220.0) up to 2008-09.

Queensland Government Queensland State Accounts, September Quarter 2011

The OESR estimates of GOS/MI differ from that published by the ABS in Australian National Accounts, State Accounts, 2010-11 (ABS 5220.0) for 2009-10 and 2010-11. This difference reflects the OESR using a different methodology to allocate the Australian estimates of industry GOS/MI between Queensland and the Rest of Australia.

Taxes less subsidies on production and imports

The quarterly Queensland State Accounts taxes less subsidies on production and imports (taxes) estimates are compiled using government finance statistics provided by the ABS to calculate State and local government taxes and estimates of Commonwealth taxes levied in Queensland. These estimates have been benchmarked to the ABS estimates contained in Australian National Accounts, State Accounts 2010-11 (ABS 5220.0).

Statistical discrepancy (I) and (E)

In line with the ABS practice, an explicit statistical discrepancy has been retained in the Queensland State Accounts. This discrepancy is allocated between the income and expenditure estimates to provide a unique measure of quarterly current gross state product. This is pro-rated from the national estimates to Queensland using gross state/domestic product.

Gross state product

The estimates of gross state product (GSP) are produced by summing the income components of gross state product: compensation of employees, gross operating surplus, gross mixed income, and taxes less subsidies on production and imports. Expenditure estimates of GSP comprise the summation of household and government consumption, capital formation, change in inventories and exports less imports. These are balanced against the income components of GSP (i.e. the income approach).

The method used to obtain chain volume estimates of GSP could be best described as ‘indirect’ as the only current price estimates of GSP available are obtained by aggregating the incomes accruing from production (i.e. the income approach). It is not possible to satisfactorily deflate such incomes to produce chain volume estimates because they do not comprise readily identifiable price and quantity elements. Consequently, the chain volume estimates of GSP are derived using the expenditure approach.

Household final consumption expenditure

The estimate of household final consumption expenditure is largely based on ABS estimates in Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0) supplemented with data contained in Tourism Research Australia (TRA) National Visitor Survey and International Visitor Survey, and the ABS Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (ABS 5302.0).

Differences between the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0) and the Queensland State Accounts are due primarily to differences in the estimates of net interstate and overseas expenditure by visitors.

General government final consumption expenditure

Estimates of these components are generally taken from the ABS estimates in the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0).

In some instances, particularly in the most recent quarters, there are differences between the Queensland State Accounts estimates of general government final consumption expenditure and those published by the ABS Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0). In these cases, the OESR has incorporated additional information that has become available after the release of ABS estimates. No adjustments have been made for Australia.

In 1999-2000 the Queensland State Accounts current price estimate is different from the ABS by $1.1 billion due to different treatment of an abnormal return on QSuper trust assets.

Private gross fixed capital formation

This is formed by the addition of the components of private investment: dwellings, non-dwelling construction, machinery and equipment, livestock and orchards, intangible fixed assets and ownership transfer costs. Estimates of these components are generally taken from the ABS estimates in the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0).

Business investment

This is calculated by the addition of non-dwelling construction and machinery and equipment.

General government gross fixed capital formation

Estimates of general government investment, including Commonwealth and State and local general government investment, are generally taken from the ABS estimates in the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0).

In some instances, there are differences between the Queensland State Accounts estimates of general government gross fixed capital formation and those published by the ABS Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0). In these cases, the OESR has either corrected ABS estimates or incorporated additional information that has become available after the release of ABS estimates. No adjustments have been made to Australia.

Public corporations gross fixed capital formation

Estimates of these components are generally taken from the ABS estimates in the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0). However, in some instances, there are differences between the Queensland State Accounts estimates of public corporations gross fixed capital formation and those published by the ABS Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0). In these cases, the OESR has incorporated additional information that has become available after the release of ABS estimates. No adjustments have been made to Australia.

Changes in inventories

Estimates of these components are made by allocating the national inventory activity identified in the ABS estimates in the Australian National Accounts, National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0) to Queensland.

Gross state expenditure

The sum of household final consumption expenditure, general government final consumption expenditure, private gross fixed capital formation, public corporations gross fixed capital formation, general government gross fixed capital formation and change in inventories.

Exports of goods, overseas

Estimates are derived using data from ABS International Trade in Goods and Services (ABS 5368.0) at the two digit Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) level. The chain volume measure series is estimated using Queensland specific SITC implicit price deflators obtained from the ABS.

Exports of services, overseas

Estimates for Queensland are derived as a share from the ABS Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (ABS 5302.0). Data from the TRA International Visitor Survey and ABS Overseas Arrivals and Departures (ABS 3401.0) is also used.

Exports of goods, interstate

Estimated from the ABS Queensland Interstate Trade Survey in which interstate exports of goods are estimated by broad commodity group.

This Queensland Interstate Trade Survey was revised in June quarter 2008. The new survey was incorporated into the Queensland State Accounts in the September quarter 2008 edition, with series prior to June quarter 2008 re-estimated based on the differences in the levels of interstate exports between the old and the new surveys.

Exports of selected services, interstate

Exports of selected services are estimated using a combination of results from the TRA National Visitor Survey and the ABS Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (ABS 5302.0). Historical expenditure figures were derived using a combination of the above, Domestic Tourism Expenditure Surveys (1982, 1992), and Queensland Travel and Tourism Corporation’s Queensland Visitors Survey.

Imports of goods, overseas

The difference between the Queensland State Accounts estimates of Queensland imports of goods, overseas and those published by the ABS Australian National Accounts: National Income, Expenditure and Product (ABS 5206.0) are due to different treatment of civil aircraft imports. Estimates are derived on a Balance of Payments Broad Economic Category (BOP BEC) basis, using unpublished data from the ABS Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (ABS 5302.0). Chain volume measures are derived using Queensland specific BOP BEC implicit price deflators.

Imports of services, overseas

This is estimated for Queensland by calculating the State’s share from the ABS Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (ABS 5302.0).

Imports of goods, interstate

Estimated from the ABS Queensland Interstate Trade Survey in which interstate imports of goods are estimated by broad commodity group.

This Queensland Interstate Trade Survey was revised in June quarter 2008. The new survey was incorporated into the Queensland State Accounts in the September quarter 2008 edition, with series prior to June quarter 2008 re-estimated based on the differences in the levels of interstate imports between the old and the new surveys.

Imports of selected services, interstate

Selected services are estimated using a combination of results from the TRA National Visitor Survey and the ABS Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (ABS 5302.0). Historical expenditure figures were derived using a combination of the above, Domestic Tourism Expenditure Surveys (1982, 1992), and Queensland Travel and Tourism Corporation’s Queensland Visitors Survey.

Expenditure on gross state product

The sum of gross state expenditure, the statistical discrepancy (E), exports of goods and services, less imports of goods and services.

Seasonally adjusted estimates

The seasonal component of a time series comprises three main types of systematic calendar related influences: seasonal influences, trading day influences and moving holiday influences. For more information on these influences see the ABS information paper An Introductory Course on Time Series Analysis (ABS 1346.0.55.001).

Seasonal adjustment removes the estimated effects of seasonal and other types of calendar variations from the statistical series, so that the effects of other influences can be analysed.

To produce smoothed seasonally adjusted estimates for the Queensland State Accounts, seasonal factors are obtained using the X-11Q procedure (developed by the U.S. Bureau of the Census). The X-11Q procedure uses an iterative system of moving averages and linear regression techniques to obtain seasonal and other systematic calendar effects.

For quarterly series, prior adjustments can be incorporated for moving holidays and trading day adjustments. However, in accordance with the methodology used by the ABS to adjust the Australian National Accounts, it was assumed that the trading day effects on quarterly Queensland State Accounts series are likely to be insignificant except in the case of private final consumption expenditure.

Separate current and chain volume measure seasonal factors are calculated for interstate and foreign imports and exports of tourism services, reflecting the seasonality in the implicit price deflators of these series.

Queensland Government Queensland State Accounts, September Quarter 2011

Differences in the estimates and in assumptions and judgments made in the smoothing procedure will result in the seasonally adjusted estimates in the Queensland State Accounts being different to those produced and published by the ABS.

Trend estimates

Trend estimates may be produced by smoothing out the residual/irregular components of the seasonally adjusted series. The trend component is defined as the long term movement in a series and is typically a result of influences such as population growth, price inflation and general economic development.

Queensland State Accounts trend estimates are compiled by applying a seven term Henderson moving average, similar to that used by the ABS and outlined in the ABS information paper A Guide to Smoothing Time Series – Monitoring Trends (ABS 1349.0).

The Henderson procedure is a symmetric moving average that is centred on a point in time that is designed to minimise the distortion to trend level, turning point and timing. The Henderson method uses individually tailored end-weights to overcome the end-point problem (insufficient observations available for the calculation of the last three quarters of a series). These end-weights reflect the irregularity of the series being trended.

Differences in the estimates and in assumptions and judgments made in the filtering procedure will result in the trend estimates in the Queensland State Accounts being different to those produced and published by the ABS.

Notes on formulae used (changes)

Last quarter

Change in a variable from one quarter to the next, e.g. the change from June quarter 2011 to September quarter 2011. This is only appropriate for seasonally adjusted and trend estimates. In the tables, this item is referred to as “quarterly percentage change”.

Same quarter last year

Change in a variable from one quarter to the same quarter in the following year, e.g. the change from June to September quarter 2011. This provides a measure of annual change. In the tables, this item is referred to as “annual percentage change”.

Year-average

Change in a variable from one set of four continuous quarters to the same four quarters in the following year, e.g. the change from the sum of December quarter 2009, March quarter 2010, June quarter 2010 and September quarter 2010 to the sum or average of December quarter 2010, March quarter 2011, June quarter 2011 and September quarter 2011. This also provides a measure of annual change.

Contribution to growth

The contribution of a component of an aggregate series to change in the aggregate from one period to another is given by the formula:

Ci,t = Yi,t – Yi,t–1 *100

∑ni=1 Yi,t–1

where Ci,t is the percentage point contribution to the change in the aggregate series ∑ni=1 Yi,t–1 from time period t-1 to time period t, caused by the change in the ith component of the aggregate series. Series calculated this way are referred to as “quarterly contribution to growth”.

It should be noted that contributions are also calculated for the change from time period t-4 to time period t. Series calculated this way are referred to as “annual contribution to growth”.

Glossary of Terms

These definitions have been constructed from the point of view of the Queensland State Accounts, rather than the Australian National Accounts; that is, they relate to the case of Queensland or to the Rest of Australia, rather than the nation as a whole.

Business investment

Defined as the gross fixed capital formation on machinery and equipment plus non-dwelling construction.

Chain volume measures

Chain volume measure (or real) estimates are valued in the price of a reference year and as a result are free of the direct effects of price changes. For example, estimates for September quarter 2011 are valued using 2009-10 prices.

Changes in inventories

Inventories consist of materials and supplies, work-in-progress, finished goods and goods for resale, and includes all inventories held by government.

Compensation of employees

Compensation of employees is the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an enterprise to an employee in return for work done by the latter during the accounting period. It is further classified into two sub-components: wages and salaries; and employers’ social contributions. Compensation of employees excludes any taxes payable by the employer on the wage and salary bill (e.g. payroll tax).

Current prices

Current price (or nominal) estimates are valued at the prices of the period to which the observation relates. For example, estimates for September quarter 2011 are valued using September quarter 2011 prices.

Dwellings

Dwellings are buildings that are used entirely or primarily as residences, including any associated structures, such as garages, and all permanent fixtures customarily installed in residences.

Exports of goods and services

Goods, commodities or services sold by residents (Queenslanders) to non-residents.

Exports of goods and services, interstate

Goods, commodities or services sold by residents (Queenslanders) to Rest of Australia residents.

- 35 -


LOGO

 

Exports of goods and services, overseas

Goods, commodities or services sold by residents (Queenslanders) to overseas residents.

Exports of goods, interstate

All transfers of ownership of goods from Queensland residents to Rest of Australia residents.

Exports of goods, overseas

All transfers of ownership of goods from Queensland residents to residents of overseas countries.

Exports of selected services, interstate

Sales of services provided by Queensland resident producers to Rest of Australia residents, including sales to Rest of Australia residents visiting Queensland.

Exports of services, overseas

Sales of services provided by Queensland resident producers to residents of overseas countries, including sales to overseas residents visiting Queensland.

General government

General government consists of all government units and non-market units that are controlled and predominantly financed by government. It mainly comprises Commonwealth, State and local government departments, offices and other bodies that are primarily engaged in production of goods and services outside the normal market mechanism. Statistics for this broad sector are broken down into two levels of government: National government; and State and local government.

General government final consumption expenditure

Net expenditure on goods and services by government authorities, except those classified as public corporations, which does not result in the creation of fixed assets or inventories or in the acquisition of land and existing buildings or second-hand assets. This can be thought of as investment by government departments.

General government gross fixed capital formation

Expenditure on new fixed assets plus net expenditure on second-hand fixed assets, whether for additions or replacements (other than weapons of destruction and weapon delivery systems).

Gross fixed capital formation

The value of acquisitions of new and existing produced assets, other than inventories, less the value of disposals of new or existing produced assets, other than inventories.

Gross mixed income

The surplus accruing to owners of unincorporated enterprises from the process of production (as defined for gross operating surplus).

- 36 -


LOGO

 

Queensland Government Queensland State Accounts, September Quarter 2011

Gross operating surplus

The surplus accruing to owners from processes of production before deducting any explicit or implicit interest charges, rent or other property income payable on financial assets required to carry on the production and before deducting consumption of fixed capital.

Gross state expenditure

The total expenditure within a given period by Queensland residents on final goods and services (i.e. final consumption plus capital formation).

Gross state product

The total market value of goods and services produced in Queensland within a given period after deducting the cost of goods and services used up in the process of production, but before deducting allowances for the consumption of fixed capital.

Total factor income

That part of the cost of producing the gross state product which consists of gross payments to factors of production (labour and capital). It represents the value added by these factors in the process or production, and is equivalent to gross state product less taxes plus subsidies on production and imports.

Household

A small group of persons who share the same living accommodation, who pool some, or all, of their income and wealth and who consume certain types of goods and services collectively, mainly housing and food.

The household sector includes all non-financial unincorporated enterprises that are owned and controlled by households and are not included in the private non-financial corporations sector.

Most business partnerships and sole proprietorships are included because their owners combine their business and personal affairs and do not keep separate accounts for their business operations and therefore do not qualify as quasi-corporations.

Household final consumption expenditure

Net expenditure on goods and services by persons and expenditure of a current nature by private non-profit institutions serving households.

Implicit price deflator

Obtained by dividing a current price value by its real (CVM) counterpart.

Imports of goods and services

Goods, commodities or services purchased by residents (Queenslanders) from non-residents (Rest of Australia and overseas countries).

Non-dwelling construction

Consists of non-residential buildings and other structures. ‘Non-residential buildings’ are buildings other than dwellings, including fixtures, facilities and equipment that are integral parts of the structures and costs of site clearance and preparations.

Private gross fixed capital formation

The total value of private sector producers’ acquisitions, less disposals of fixed assets during the accounting period plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by the production activity of institutional units. Expenditure is broken down into dwellings, non-dwelling construction, machinery and equipment, livestock and orchards, intangible fixed assets and ownership transfer costs.

Public corporations

Resident government controlled corporations and quasi-corporations that are created for the purpose of producing goods and services for the market and may be a source of profit or other financial gain to their owner(s).

Queensland Government Queensland State Accounts, September Quarter 2011

Public corporations gross fixed capital formation

The value of new and existing produced assets, other than inventories, less the value of disposals of new and existing produced assets, other than inventories. This can be thought of as investment by government owned corporations.

Public final demand

Defined as the sum of general government final consumption expenditure, public corporations gross fixed capital formation and general government gross fixed capital formation.

Real prices

See chain volume measures.

Seasonal adjustment

Seasonal adjustment is the process of estimating and then removing from a time series influences that are systematic and calendar related, such as trading day effects and moving holidays.

Taxes less subsidies on production and imports

Taxes less subsidies on production and imports consists of ‘taxes less subsidies on products’ and ‘other’ taxes/subsidies on production. Taxes/subsidies on products are payable on goods and services when they are produced or sold by their producers and include taxes/subsidies and duties/subsidies on imports. Other taxes on production consist mainly of taxes on the ownership or use of land, building or other assets used in production, or labour employed or compensation of employees paid.

Trend

Trend estimates reflect the ‘long term’ movement in a time series without calendar related and irregular effects, and is a reflection of the underlying level. It is the result of influences such as population growth, price inflation and general economic changes.
