Supply and use table (SUT) gathers in the same accounting framework, the goods and services account by product type and the production and generation of income accounts by producing industry. The goods and services account provides the balance between supply (output and imports) and uses (consumption, gross fixed capital formation, acquisitions less disposals of valuables, changes in inventories, exports) by product. The production and generation of income accounts by industry make possible to measure the gross value added of industries (ie their productive contribution), and their gross operating surplus as well as their gross mixed income. All of this information provides an overview of the national economy, the interdependence between its industries and the flows between the domestic economy and the rest of the world.

Compared to the SUT, the SIOT makes important changes. The three most important are:

In the absence of the financial account for the last three years (2022 to 2024), the balance B0 “Non-financial and financial accounts adjustment” is equal to the opposite of the balance B9NF “Net lending (+) / net borrowing (–)” in the TIEA.”
