32. There are differences between the ABS approximate measure of GVA and the other GVA measures published for Scotland. It is important to emphasise that ABS approximate GVA does not cover the whole economy and that it does not include all the National Accounting adjustments that reconcile the ABS data with other data sources.

33. Self-employed people not registered for VAT/PAYE, along with HM Forces and government supported trainees, are excluded.

34. Note that the 2011 BRES employment estimates, in the table, are not strictly comparable with the data for 2010 and 2009. This is due to instances of double counting of directors of limited companies in the 2009 and 2010 results - directors of limited companies may have been included, by those completing the BRES questionnaire, in both the employees' and the working owners' categories. This anomaly does not exist for the 2011 results due to a change in the treatment of working owners in the 2011 BRES questionnaire. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) will be publishing, at the regional and sub-regional level, an adjusted version of the 2010 results later in 2012, which will be comparable with the 2011 estimates. The 2010 adjusted estimates, that will be comparable to the 2011 estimates, will be lower than the 2010 estimates currently published. So where there is an increase between the 2010 data and the 2011 data, in the table, we can be sure that this is indeed an increase - but we will not know the magnitude of the increase until the 2010 adjusted BRES data are published later in 2012.

To maintain consistency, the NBI core 20 panel countries in 2008, 2009 and 2010 were: Western Europe/North America: U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden; Central and Eastern Europe: Russia, Poland, Turkey; Asia-Pacific: Japan, China, India, South Korea, Australia; Latin America: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Middle East/Africa: Egypt, South Africa

55. It is important to keep in mind that the rank order is dependent on which target nations are included and these tend to vary somewhat from one year to the next. For the purpose of comparison over time, the overall score, which can range from 0 to 100, is therefore more informative.
