Output of the financial sector
Financial sector includes: commercial banks credit unions savings and loans regulated investment companies insurance companies
Output can be either priced or “implicit”
www.bea.gov 3
I. Output of commercial banks
Based on the 1993 System of National Accounts— Financial intermediation services indirectly measured (FISIM)
FISIM of commercial banks recognized for both depositors and borrowers
www.bea.gov 4
Depositors’ and borrowers’ services
Output of depositors’ services
YiD = (r – average rate paid) * average liability balance
Output of borrowers’ services Yi
B = (average rate received – r) * average asset balance
Total implicit outputYi = Yi
D + YiB
www.bea.gov 5
Calculation of average rates
Based on “book value” calculations average rate paid =
(interest expense / average liability balance)
average rate received = (interest income / average asset balance)
Data available from commercial banks’ balance sheet and income statements
www.bea.gov 6
Calculation of the reference rate
Pure cost of borrowing funds; does not include risk premiums or intermediation services
Ratio of interest income on U.S. Government Treasury and Agency securities (excluding mortgage- backed securities) to their value on balance sheets of commercial banks

Sector allocations of output
Consumption of implicit output allocated to persons, government, rest of world, and businesses
Allocations estimated by asset and liability Assets allocated based on sector distribution of
loan/lease balances Liabilities allocated based on sector ownership of
deposit balances Data available from the U.S. flow of funds accounts
www.bea.gov 9
Constant-price bank output
Steps in the calculationReference year total output (both priced and
implicit)
extrapolated with: volume index of banking output
equals: constant-price total output
less: constant-price output of priced services
equals: constant-price implicit output
Sector shares of constant-price implicit output same as current-price sector shares
www.bea.gov 10
II. Output of insurance companies
Output of property and casualty (P&C) insurance companies includes: transfer of risk financial intermediation administrative services, such as handling claims
Consistent with treatment recommended in the revised 1993 System of National Accounts
www.bea.gov 11
P&C insurance output
Output = direct premiums earned+ premium supplements– dividends paid to policy holders – normal (expected) losses incurred
Consistent with the behavior of insurance companies

P&C insurance output
Direct premiums earned include transactions related to reinsurance
Premium supplements Expected income earned by insurance companies
from investing policyholder reserves Used to supplement revenue from premiums to pay
claims or purchase reinsurance services
www.bea.gov 15
P&C insurance output
Normal losses Represent claims that insurance companies expect to
pay in a period Insurance companies determine premiums for a future
period based on the claims they expect to pay; that is—
Normal lossest = direct premiums earnedt *
{0.3 * (direct losses incurredt-1 / direct premiums earnedt-
1) +
0.7 * E[(direct losses incurredt-1 / direct premiums earnedt-1)]}
www.bea.gov 16
Adjusting for disasters
Effect of disasters on normal losses is “smoothed”; a portion of the disaster is added to normal losses for a 20-year period following the disaster
“Net insurance settlements” is the difference between actual and expected losses; it is recorded as a current transfer payment to policyholders from insurance companies
www.bea.gov 17
Constant-price P&C insurance output
Based on a “single-deflation” technique using consumer price indexes and producer price indexes
Research underway to consider constant-price estimates based on “double-deflation” techniques
