Information and Communication Technology Satellite Account (ICTSA) of Malaysia focuses on a particular aspect of the economy for example contribution of ICT to the nation. It also permits further linkages to additional information specific to ICT such as income, exports, imports and employment. ICT consists of industries such as manufacturing, trade, services and content & media industries.
The basis of ICTSA compilation in Malaysia is the framework of supply and use tables (SUT). However, it only focuses on ICT products and industries. The supply table indicates the goods and services of ICT products that are supplied by each producer. Meanwhile, use table tracks the usage of those products by industries, government, households and exports.
Supply of each product (valued at purchasers’ prices) consists of;
- Domestic production by industry (valued at basic prices);
- Imports;
- Transport, retail and wholesale trade margins; and
- Taxes less subsidies on production and imports.
Use of each product (valued at purchasers’ prices) consists of:
- Intermediate use by industries (products that are consumed by industries in the process of producing other products); and
- Final use by type of expenditure. Final use includes consumption by households and government, products that have been capitalised, changes in inventories and exports.
A comprehensive use table includes primary inputs of production namely compensation of employees, gross operating surplus and other taxes less subsidies on products and production for each industry.
Information and Communication Technology Satellite Account (ICTSA) of Malaysia is based on the System of National Accounts 2008, OECD Guide to Measuring the Information Society 2011 and OECD Internet Economy Outlook 2012. The concepts and definitions are adapted to Malaysia’s requirement.
