The value of gross output in the area of culture reached PLN 138.2 billion and increased by 7.4% in comparison to 2020. The value of intermediate consumption amounted to PLN 75.0 billion, while the gross value added, representing the difference between the gross output and the intermediate consumption, amounted to PLN 63.2 billion (an increase of 7.7% and 7.0% respectively compared to the previous year). The compensation of employees increased by 2.5% on an annual basis to PLN 26.7 billion. The gross operating surplus, representing the difference between the gross value added and the compensation of employees and the other taxes on production, less other subsidies on production, amounted to PLN 37.0 billion (2.9% less than in 2020). The other subsidies on production decreased significantly (by PLN 4.5 billion compared to 2020), which may be related to a reduction in financial support granted to many entities in 2020 in connection with the announcement of an epidemic threat in Poland (COVID-19).
