About the GDP Quarterly National Accounts

This publication includes the second estimate of onshore GDP growth for the latest quarter, which uses additional data which has become available since the Quarterly GDP First Estimate was published two months ago. The results in this release are broadly comparable to, and make extensive use of data derived from, the latest UK Quarterly National Accounts which were published one month ago.

In addition to the second estimate of onshore growth in real terms, the GDP Quarterly National Accounts also includes: 

  • Total GDP in nominal (cash) terms for the onshore economy and also the wider economy including offshore activities.
  • Onshore GDP in nominal terms broken down using all three of the output, expenditure and income approaches.
  • Household Sector income and expenditure accounts for Scotland, including Gross Disposable Household Income (GDHI) and the Household Savings Ratio.
  • Statistics in development of the expenditure approach to GDP in real terms, breakdowns of household final consumption expenditure in real terms, and real household disposable income.

There is a quality and methodology information report for the GDP quarterly national accounts available online.
