To ask the Scottish Executive what the real gross domestic product was for each year since 1999 in purchasing power parity per capita expressed in US dollars, calculated on the same basis as the World Health Organization’s European health for all database.
Answer
Real Gross Domestic Product is not available for Scotland. However, an approximation can be calculated by applying Scotland’s ratio of UK gross value added (GVA) per head at current prices to the figures published by WHO. This gives the following, which assumes that Scottish prices have behaved in the same way as in the UK overall.
| | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 |
| UK GDP per head ($US PPP) | 23,741 | 24,933 | 24,160 | 28,000 |
| Scottish % of UK GVA per head | 95.8 | 95.2 | 94.4 | 94.6 |
| Estimated Scottish GDP per head ($US PPP) | 22,744 | 23,736 | 22,807 | 26,488 |
Source: WHO European health for all database, ONS.
The UK figures have been extracted from the WHO database. It should be noted that they show a different pattern to the equivalent estimates from Organisation for Economic and Co-operation and Development (OECD), which would be a preferred source for economic indicators.
