Gross domestic product (GDP) measures the domestic production of goods and services (production approach). However, it can also be presented as the sum of final use (expenditure approach) or as the sum of income generated as part of the production activity (income approach). GDP is calculated both quarterly and annually by Statistics Austria. Gross national income (GNI) represents the calculation basis for the EU´s own funds financing. It results from the GDP adjusted by the balance of cross-border primary incomes.
Aggregates at constant prices are calculated on the basis of the previous year’s prices in accordance with EU regulations. Chained volume indices are used to represent time series. Detailed information on data sources and methodology is provided in the inventories of methods for quarterly and annual national accounts (see "Documentation" below).
