  5. Services –SNA 2008 para.6.17 • “Services are the result of a production activity that changes the conditions of the consuming units, or facilitate the exchange of products or financial assets. These types of service may be described as transformation services and margin services respectively. Transformation services are outputs produced to order and typically consist of changes in the conditions of the consuming units realized by the activities of producers at the demand of the consumers. Transformation services are not separate entities over which ownership rights can be established. They cannot be traded separately from their production. By the time their production is completed, they must have been provided to the consumers.” Peter Pariag

  6. Importance of Services in CSME Share of Services to GPD, Employment and Trade in Services Average 2003 - 2008 (percent of total) Peter Pariag

  7. Measuring the production of Services • Statistics on Domestic activity • Value added broken down by industry (of which services) within the National Accounts framework • Employment in the services industries within employment statistics (also part of the National Accounts) • Information on specific services industries from business statistics Peter Pariag

  8. Specific Features of Trade in Services Intangible nature • Many services require physical proximity of provider and consumer: • services perceived as less easily tradable than goods. Conventional Trade statistics do not cover all international Trade in Services • Services delivered by foreign affiliates > conventional international trade in services. Peter Pariag
