GROSS STATE PRODUCT

Gross State Product (GSP) is the state/territory equivalent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Australia. It represents the total market value of goods and services produced within a state or territory 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.


In current prices, the Australian Capital Territory's (ACT) GSP was $19,477m in 2005-06, an increase of 5% over 2004-05. GSP increased by 3%, from $18,473m to $19,098m in chain volume terms over the same period. In comparison, Australia's GDP increased by 8% in current prices and 3% in chain volume terms between 2004-05 and 2005-06.

It is emphasised that, at times, there may be movements that cannot be fully explained in the chain volume estimates of GSP through the use of the proxy deflator. Reference year for chain volume estimates is 2004-05.

Total Factor Income (TFI) is gross state product less taxes plus subsidies and production and imports and comprises of compensation of employees and gross operating surplus. In 2005-06, Government administration and defence was the largest contributing industry to the ACT's TFI - in current prices it made up 27% of TFI. The Property and business services industry was next (13%), followed by Ownership of dwellings (9%) and Construction (8%). The Government administration and defence industry has consistently been the largest contributor to TFI for the ACT since 1989-90, when the ABS State Accounts series commenced.


In contrast, the Property and business services industry contributed most to TFI for Australia (13%). This was followed by Manufacturing (11%), then Mining, Finance and insurance and Ownership of dwellings (all contributing 8%).
