Activity or the employment status of the person. Occupations are grouped together mainly on

Operating surplus
Value added minus (compensation of employees plus net taxes on production minus
subsidies and custom fees plus depreciation).
Other Investment:
Included are all transactions in financial assets and liabilities which are not classified
under any of the three other broad categories. The most important of these are
currency, deposits and loans (including trade credits).
Output (Production):
Production is measured during a certain period of time by the value of the final products of
goods and services produced by a certain establishment capable of being provided to other
units though they can be self-consumed or for the purposes of self gross fixed capital
formation. Production includes two categories: Final products and the so-called
under-operating products, which means products that take a long time to produce such as
livestock and establishment works. The value of the majority of goods can be estimated at the
moment the production process is completed. However, the production of some goods may
exceed the accounting period (such as the case of under-operating products). The value of
such products is estimated and registered during that accounting period as, for example, the
case of establishment works and winter crops.
Output of Financial Intermediations:
This is the value of the final products of goods and services produced by an
establishment, used by other units as self-consumed or for the purposes of self gross
fixed capital formation. Production includes two categories: Final products and the
so-called under operating products. Production can be classified as follows: market
outputs, outputs of private account, and other non-market outputs.
This means that production = value of production from main activity + value of
production of secondary activities.

A person who operates his or her own economic enterprise or engages independently
in a profession or trade, and hires no employees.
