-Undervaluation of government output as many of its services are not marketed.
-Overestimation of the value of depreciation leading to lower GDP,
-Inventory reevaluation / value of stock work in progress may be undervalued,
-Illegal output not being counted – drug trafficking smuggling / black market output not valued,
-Problem of products to include – some outputs may not be captured e.g. of housewives.
