Gross Domestic Product for Guam, 2019
Today, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is releasing estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) for
Guam for 2019, in addition to estimates of GDP by industry and compensation by industry for 2018.1
These estimates were developed under the Statistical Improvement Program funded by the Office of
Insular Affairs (OIA) of the U.S. Department of the Interior.
Gross Domestic Product for 2019
The estimates of GDP for Guam show that real GDP—GDP adjusted to remove price changes—increased
2.0 percent in 2019.

U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

As shown in Chart 1, the increase in real GDP reflected increases in exports, private fixed investment,
federal government spending, and consumer spending. These increases were partly offset by an

increase in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and a decline in territorial
government spending.
Exports of services, which consists primarily of spending by tourists, increased 15.6 percent (see Table
1.3). This reflected a record high in visitor arrivals for the year and growth in average spending by
Korean and Japanese tourists, who make up much of Guam’s tourist market.
Overall, investment spending contributed positively to the economy. Spending on construction and
equipment for defense and private projects increased but was partly offset by declines in territorial
government investment spending. Private fixed investment grew 8.9 percent; business spending on
construction increased following project delays in 2017 and 2018.
Consumer spending also increased; the eighth increase in the last 9 years. Spending increased on both
goods and services, largely reflecting growth in retail trade activity and health care services, respectively
(see Table 1.4).2
Gross Domestic Product by Industry and Compensation by Industry for 2018
The estimates of GDP by industry show that the government sector was the source of the decline in real
GDP in 2018 (see Table 2.4). Federal and territorial government decreased, reflecting declines in
employment and hours paid.
The private sector expanded in 2018, partly offsetting the decrease in the government sector. The
largest contributor to private sector growth was construction, reflecting growth in private sector work
on defense projects.3
The compensation by industry estimates, which are measured in current dollars, show trends in
compensation for major industries (see Table 2.6). Total compensation increased in 2018, primarily
reflecting growth in the private sector. Within the private sector, the largest contributors were
construction and “other private.”4
The accompanying tables present estimates for GDP and its major components, GDP by industry, and
compensation by industry. Also included in this release are estimates for the major components of gross
domestic income.
Revisions to GDP and Related Estimates
This release also includes the results of a comprehensive update of the territorial economic accounts.
Comprehensive updates are typically performed every 5 years, based on the Census Bureau’s every-5years economic censuses of island areas.
With the comprehensive update, estimates for 2002 to 2018 have been revised to incorporate
improvements to source data and methods, including information from:

Health care services include those directly financed by government social benefits such as Medicaid.
Construction activities performed by private companies on behalf of the government sector are reflected within
private sector industry value added.

“Other private” includes all private sector industries not separately shown in Table 2.6, such as professional,
scientific, and technical services and health care services.

thorough and detailed statistics on the structure of the Guam economy,

Chart 2 shows that the new estimates exhibit a pattern of inflation-adjusted GDP growth similar to the
previously published estimates. However, there are notable revisions within the components of GDP,
including to consumer spending and private fixed investment.

U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

The revisions to consumer spending primarily reflect the incorporation of an improved estimation
method for health care services for all years. Previously, estimates for health care services provided to
households, including by hospitals, were benchmarked every 5 years to ECIA data on total revenues.
Now, services provided by the government hospital are estimated for all years using annual data on net
patient revenues from financial statements. For 2015 forward, CMS cost report data on net patient
revenues of private sector hospitals are used for the first time.5 The cost report data replaced estimates
of private sector services that had been extrapolated based on payroll data. The effect of the updated
estimation method on the growth of GDP was largest for 2015 forward, as the newly incorporated CMS
data showed a different pattern of growth than payroll data.

5

Guam’s first private sector hospital opened in July 2015. Revenues for the first half-year of operation were
prorated based on 2016 data from CMS.
-3-

Estimates of private fixed investment were also revised, primarily reflecting the incorporation of more
detailed building permit data into the annual indicators for construction activity for 2013 forward.6
The reference year for inflation-adjusted measures has been updated to 2012. This is the same
reference year used in BEA’s national GDP estimates.
The estimates of GDP by industry and compensation by industry have been updated to incorporate the
above data sources.
Future Directions
OIA and BEA will work to extend and improve the estimates of GDP for Guam. The information provided
by the Guam government will continue to be critical to the successful production of these estimates.
BEA plans to release GDP estimates for 2020 for Guam in the fall of 2021. GDP by industry and
compensation by industry estimates for 2019 will be released at the same time.

The estimates of private fixed investment are benchmarked to capital expenditures information from the 2012
ECIA.

BEA's news release schedule

Government consumption expenditures and gross
investment, or “government spending,” measures the
portion of GDP that is accounted for by the government
sector. Government consumption expenditures consists of
spending by government to produce and provide services
to the public. Gross investment consists of spending by
government for fixed assets that directly benefit the public
or that assist government agencies in their production
activities.
Gross domestic income (GDI) is the sum of incomes earned
and costs incurred in the production of GDP. In national
economic accounting, GDP and GDI are conceptually equal.

Definitions

Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at “market
value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or as
“current-price estimates.”

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of the goods and
services produced by the Guam economy less the value of
the goods and services used up in production. GDP is also
equal to the sum of personal consumption expenditures,
private fixed investment, change in private inventories, net
exports of goods and services, and government
consumption expenditures and gross investment.

Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.

Statistical Conventions

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE), also referred to
as “consumer spending,” measures the goods and services
purchased by “persons”—that is, by households and by
nonprofit institutions serving households (NPISHs)—who
are resident in Guam.

Quantities and prices. Quantities, or “real” volume
measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with
a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2012).
Quantity and price indexes are calculated using a Fisher
chain-weighted formula that incorporates weights from
two adjacent years. “Real” dollar series are calculated by
multiplying the quantity index by the current-dollar value in
the reference year (2012) and then dividing by 100.

Private fixed investment (PFI) measures spending by
private businesses, nonprofit institutions, and households
on fixed assets in the Guam economy. Fixed assets consist
of structures, equipment, and software that are used in the
production of goods and services.

Chained-dollar values are not additive because the relative
weights for a given period differ from those of the reference
year.

Net exports of goods and services is the difference
between exports of goods and services and imports of
goods and services. Exports measures the portion of total
Guam production of goods and services that is provided to
the rest of the world. Imports measures the portion of total
