The financing (except banking) industry generated $106 billion of total receipts, an increase of 11% over 1993.
The gross surplus of the industry accounted for 54.8% of the total receipts. This was 7.2 percentage points lower than the corresponding figure for 1993.
On the other hand, the total operating expenditure of the industry accounted for 45.2% of the total receipts, an increase of 7.2 percentage points from the figure for 1993.
The total value added of the financing (except banking) industry, increased by 2% to $12.7 billion in 1994. It accounted for 12.0% of the total receipts in 1994, which was 1.2 percentage points lower than the figure for 1993. It should, however, be noted that the total value added calculated for the industry did not include that for investment and holding companies owing to the special features of their business operations.
