Foreword
Welcome
to the Monthly presentation organised by the

Dissemination Branch of the Central Statistical Office (CSO). The
CSO embarks on vigorous information delivery strategy to major
stakeholders and the media institutions in order to increase
utilisation of statistical products and services. The office produces
a number of statistical products in the Economic, Social,
Agricultural and Environmental areas. The information collected
in these areas may be used for various purposes including policy
formulation,
planning,
implementation, monitoring
and
evaluation of programmes and projects.
This Monthly publication is an attempt to provide highlights of
CSOs work and how it can help media institutions and the
general public to make use of data and information for
sustainable national development and decision-making.
I would like to urge our readers and users of statistical information
to send to us any comments that may enhance statistical
production and contribute to the improvement of this bulletin.

NEW 2010 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)

The Central Statistical Office (CSO) conducted the
Economic Census in 2011/2012. The Economic
Census was undertaken in order to address the
challenges of compiling economic statistics, such
as the outdated benchmark year (1994), limited
scope of coverage (mostly along the line of rail),
inappropriate
price
and
volume
indices.
Indisputably, there was need to reflect the current
economic realities of Zambia. The Economic
Census is also a basis for future establishment and
enterprise surveys.
The CSO has finalized the benchmarking

of the National Accounts Statistics to
2010 following the successful conduct of
the Economic Census and other surveys.
According to the benchmark estimates,
the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for
2010 is estimated at K97,215.9 million of
which the informal sector accounted for
33.6 percent. The new estimates are 25.2
percentage points higher than the old
which were estimated at K77,666.6
million.
Notable changes in these estimates

include the change in the relative
contribution of each industry to the
overall GDP. The Wholesale and retail
trade accounted for most of the value
added at 18.4 percent followed by
Mining and quarrying at 12.9 percent
and construction at 10.9 percent.
Agriculture, forestry & fishing contributed
9.9 percent to the overall GDP.
16 | P a g e
What are the Key Findings?
According to the new benchmark

estimates the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) for 2010 is estimated
at K97,215.9 Million.
The new estimates are 25.2

percentage points higher than the
old which were estimated at
K77,666.6 million.
The relative contribution of industries

to overall GDP has changed.
New industries have come on board

e.g. Information Technology while
others have been split e.g. Electricity
and water supply. This is due to
adoption of a more recent
classification systems.
The new benchmark estimates also

include
the
comprehensive
estimation of the informal sector.
Notable changes in these estimates

include the change in the relative
contribution of each industry to the
overall GDP.
Improvements in the
Benchmark Estimates
Revised methodologies to conform

to the recent System of National
Accounts (SNA) (from 1968 & 1993
to 2008 SNA).
Revised industry classification system

(from ISIC rev.2 to ISIC rev.4). New
industries have come on board e.g.
Information Technology while others
have been split e.g. Electricity and
water supply. This is due to the
adoption
of
more
recent
classifications system contained in
the 2008 SNA.
Compilation of GDP by income

approach and institutional sectors.
Implication of the change of

methodology
and
new
benchmark estimates
The old series has undergone

revision i.e. the back series has been
linked to the new benchmark
estimates.
The base year for the constant series

has changed from 1994 to the new
benchmark year of 2010.
Introduction of high frequency data

such as the quarterly GDP and
Producer Price Indices.
Increased scope/coverage.
Change in the methodology e.g.

conducting Annual Business Surveys.
All indicators that are benchmarked

to GDP will be affected (e.g. debt
to GDP ratio, PEs to GDP ratio, Tax
revenue as percent of GDP).
New
The new benchmark estimates present a

number of improvements over the old
series. These are as follows;
Improved coverage and detailed

content in the data collection
instruments.
Comprehensive measurement
the informal sector.

Notes:
1/Stocks expected to be held by commodity traders, millers, brewers, FRA, DMMU and commercial and small scale farmers as at 1st
May2013.
2/Production estimates by MAL/CSO. Cassava production is based on the total area under cassava, using an annual yield figure of 11.7
tonnes per hectare (MAFF Root and Tuber Improvement Programme, 1996). A flour extraction rate of 25% is used. Other tubers are
sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes.
3/Human staple food consumption represents 70% (1,470kCal/person/day, CSO) of total diet (2,100kCal/person/day, National Food
and Nutrition Commission) for the national population of 14.58 million people (based on CSO Census projections with 2.8% growth rate
projected to October 2012, midmarket. The food balance shows an overall surplus of staple foods. Food prices may affect the level of
food consumption.
4/ National strategic requirements expected to be carried over into the next season by FRA. (This amount of 500,000 Mt includes
equivalent quantity that is already budgeted for).
5/ Estimated requirements by major stock feed producers.
6/ Estimated requirements by industrial breweries.
7/ Estimated retention of grain for other uses by smallholders.
8/ Post harvest losses are estimated at 5% for grains, sweet potatoes and cassava, in line with estimates from other SADC countries.
9/
Structural exports represents cross-border trade, mostly to the DRC, that occurs on a continuing basis and that is likely to occur
during the 2012/13 marketing season. It does not include large-scale formal trade.
10/ Expected surpluses or deficits that arise after meeting minimum overall staple human consumption requirements as well as industrial
requirements.
The total surplus/deficit is expressed as maize equivalent using energy values.
The rice deficit is based on a 3 year rolling average of what is known to be imported each year, as indicated under D.
For cassava, the surplus represents cassava that is still in the ground and may not necessarily be harvested.
11/ Commercial imports/exports represent expected regional and international trade by the privates Sector.
12/ Total estimated requirement for food relief among vulnerable groups, to be imported. This could be met with maize or other grains.

LAYMAN AND STATISTICS

1. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the sum of gross value added of all resident producer units plus
taxes on products, less subsidies on products.
2. National Accounts represent a broad and comprehensive statistical system aimed at describing
a national economy and how it works.
3. The System of National Accounts (SNA) is the internationally agreed set of recommendations on
how to compile measures of economic activity in accordance with established accounting
conventions based on economic principles. The latest set of recommendations is contained in the
2008 SNA.
4. International Standard Industrial Classification of all economic activities (ISIC) is the international
reference classification for productive activities. It groups activities according to homogeneous
production technologies for a range of products. Currently, the CSO is using ISIC Rev. 4.
5. Benchmarking of the GDP involves the process of updating the structure of the economy as
well as changing of the base or reference year.
