The non-financial accounts provide a description of the different stages of the economic process: production, generation of income, distribution of income, redistribution of income, use of income and non-financial accumulation. They also provide a list of balancing items that have high analytical value in their own right: value added, operating surplus and mixed income, balance of primary incomes, disposable income, saving, and net lending/net borrowing. All of them except net lending/net borrowing can be expressed in gross or net terms, i.e. with and without consumption of fixed capital that accounts for the use and obsolescence of fixed assets.
The results are presented by institutional sector of the economy and are broken down by account.
The statistics are available for the euro area as a whole, as well as for all EU countries.
