Definition: Change in stocks
National accounts
This column indicates the change in stocks in the industry (excluding stocks at the various marketing stages) during the reference year. It is measured by calculating the difference between stock entries and withdrawals, or the difference between final and initial stocks. In the latter case other changes in volume and holding gains (net of losses) are to be deducted in the calculation of values (cf. 2.68.5. and following).
