description: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of the best known indicators of economic activity and is widely used to monitor economic performance. GDP statistics for Scotland are produced by the Scottish Government and have been designated as [National Statistics](https://osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/national-statistics/).

GDP can also be broken down using the income and expenditure approaches, which are available as separate datasets. There are two updates to the output by industry statistics each quarter. The First Estimate of GDP growth is published around 80 days after the quarter's end, and an updated second estimate is published in the Quarterly National Accounts around 120 days after the quarter's end.
