Gross domestic product on the expenditure side shows how GDP is distributed with respect to consumption, capital formation and foreign trade.

The quarterly national accounts are compiled from a less comprehensive set of materials than the detailed annual national accounts and the first results are released 60 days after the end of the period. The sum of four quarters equals preliminary annual figures for the years without detailed annual figures. The detailed annual figures are published after 23 months. Constant prices reference year 2018 are chained series and thus not additive.
