End Notes

1. There are three approaches to measuring GDP: production, income, and expenditure. SUTs provide a framework that reconciles the estimates generated by the three approaches.

2. Margins represent expenses embedded within the cost of a product other than the amount received by the producer. Such margins include transportation, wholesale, and retail margins.

3. Note: totals may not equal the sum of parts due to rounding errors.

4. Basic price is the price received by the producer or importer for a unit of a product. It excludes taxes on products, and wholesale, retail and transport margins.

5. Purchasers’ price is the price paid by a customer for a unit of a product. It is equivalent to the basic price plus taxes on products and wholesale, retail, and transport margins.

6. Note: totals may not equal the sum of parts due to rounding errors.

7. Note that the IPTF tables differ from the SUTs in the treatment of re-exports (products imported and subsequently “re-exported” with no significant transformation). In the SUTs, the values of imported goods that are re-exported are embedded within the international imports column and the values of re-exports are shown in a separate column in the final uses table. In the IPTF table, re-exports of goods are excluded from imports by province and territory and shown instead as total imports in the re-export column. The values for international exports by province and territory in the IPTF table represent the margins on re-exported goods.

8. Foreign trade is defined as international imports plus international exports.
