3.1. Data description

National accounts are a coherent set of macroeconomic indicators, which provide an overall picture of the economic situation and are widely used for economic analysis and forecasting, policy design and policy making.

The data presented in this collection are the results of a pilot exercise on the sharing selected main GDP aggregates, population and employment data collected by different international organisations. It was conducted by the Task Force in International Data Collection (TFIDC) which was established by the  Inter-Agency Group on Economic and Financial Statistics (IAG). 

The goal of this pilot was to develop a set of commonly shared principles and working arrangements for data cooperation that could be implemented by the international agencies. The data sets present national accounts data form various countries across the globe in one coherent folder, but users should be aware that these data are collected and validated by different organisations and not fully harmonised from a methodological point of view. 

The domain consists of the following collections:

National accounts - international data cooperation (naid_10)
Annual national accounts - international data cooperation (naida_10)
	GDP and main aggregates -international data cooperation annual data (naida_10_gdp)
	Gross value added by A*10 industry -  international data cooperation annual data (naida_10_a10)
	Employment and population -  international data cooperation annual data (naida_10_pe)
Quarterly national accounts - international data cooperation (naidq_10)
	GDP and main aggregates - international data cooperation quarterly data (naidq_10_gdp)
	Gross value added by A*10 industry - international data cooperation quarterly data (naidq_10_a10)
	Employment and population - international data cooperation quarterly data (naidq_10_pe)
Annual sector accounts - international data cooperation (naidsa_10)
	Non-financial transactions - selected international annual data (naidsa_10_nf_tr)
	Financial balance sheets – international data cooperation (naidsa_10_f_bs)
	Financial transactions – international data cooperation (naidsa_10_f_tr)
Quarterly sector accounts - international data cooperation (naidsq_10)
	Non-financial transactions - selected international quarterly data (naidsq_10_nf_tr)
	Financial balance sheets – international data cooperation - quarterly data (naidsq_10_f_bs)
	Financial transactions – international data cooperation - quarterly data (naidsq_10_f_tr)

The table below shows for each country which is the main authority validating the data.

For Eurostat countries national accounts are compiled using ESA 2010, which is compatible with SNA 2008 which is mostly used by other countries.

3.5. Statistical unit

National accounts aim to capture economic activity within the domestic territory. They combine data from a host of base statistics, and thus they have no common sampling reference frame.

3.6. Statistical population

National accounts combine data from many source statistics and administrative sources. The concept of statistical population is not applicable in a national accounts context.

3.7. Reference area

Please refer to section 3.1.

3.8. Coverage - Time

Coverage in time depends on the country and indicator and varies within the dataset. For most EU member states ESA 2010 data is available from 1995 onwards.

3.9. Base period

Many non-EU countries compile volume estimates in constant prices. Because the base period varies across countries the volume series are presented as an index.

Base periods are not applicable to chain linked volume series.

This is not applicable for financial and non-financial sector accounts.

National accounts data are typically transmitted in national currency, and Eurostat transforms these data in EUR/ECU whenever the exchange rates are available.

The units published in this dataset are currently the following:

• CP_MNAC: Current prices, million units of national currency
• CP_MEUR: Current prices, million euro

Additionally, main aggregates data are also expressed in current prices, previous year prices and chain-linked volumes, but some countries still use constant price series based on a specific base year. These series can then be converted into other currencies and used to derive indices or growth rates.

The units published for main aggregates also include the following:

• CP_MUSD: Current prices, million US dollars
• CLV_I10: Chain linked volumes, index 2010=100
• KP_I10: Constant prices, index 2010=100
• THS_HW: Thousand hours worked
• THS_PER: Thousand persons

However, not all units are available for all countries and indicators.

For further explanations on the units see: nama_10 and namq_10, nasa_10_nf_tr, nasq_10_nf_tr, nasa_10_f and nasq_10_f metadata.

The accounting period is the calendar year. Temporal coverage varying across geographical units.

6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements

Not applicable.

6.2. Institutional Mandate - data sharing

The data presented is based on an informal agreement between Eurostat, OECD, IMF and UNSD to provide data to other international organisations under the auspices of the Inter-Agency Group on Economic and Financial Statistics (IAG). For more information on the IAG please access IMF website.

17.1. Data revision - policy

All data disseminated consist of data already disseminated by Eurostat for EU countries, and by the corresponding international organisation as outlined in Section 3.1 for the non-EU countries.

National data are revised according to national schedules, and revisions are applied to Eurostat's online database as soon as they become available to Eurostat.

European aggregates are regularly updated according to a pre-announced release schedule (see dedicated website) and nama_10 and namq_10 metadata for the revision policy of main aggregates.

For European non-financial sector accounts please refer to release calendars section on Eurostat website and sector accounts dedicated webpages and the corresponding metadata files for quarterly (nasq_10_nf_tr) and annual data (nasa_10_nf_tr).

Eurostat continuously updates European aggregates for annual financial accounts (nasa_10_f) as soon as more countries’ data become available. Euro area quarterly financial accounts (nasq_10_f) are compiled and disseminated by the ECB every quarter.

For financial accounts, National  Statistical Offices and National Central Banks agreed to gradually implement the  Harmonised European Revision Policy for Macroeconomic Statistics in national accounts and  balance  of  payments  statistics.  This policy includes differentiated guidelines regarding  the  timing  and  depth  of  revisions of quarterly  and  annual  data.  It aims to improve adherence to the twofold principle of alignment between  statistical  domains at national level and coordinated alignment across countries at EU level. The policy provides guidelines for both 'routine' revisions and 'major' or 'benchmark' revisions.

For non-EU countries please refer to the main authority validating the country’s data as outlined in Section 3.1.

For more information, please consult: Practical guidelines for revising ESA 2010 data.

17.2. Data revision - practice

All data disseminated consist of data already disseminated by Eurostat for EU countries, and by the corresponding international organisation as outlined in Section 3.1 for the non-EU countries.

The revision practice is therefore effectively the revision practice applied by the corresponding country – but with a revision periodicity corresponding to the Eurostat reception schedule.

National accounts data are subject to continuous routine revisions as new input data becomes available. For more information, please consult the corresponding metadata of each statistical domain.

For non-EU countries please refer to the main authority validating the country’s data as outlined in Section 3.1.

18.1. Source data

Countries use many sources to compile their national accounts, among them administrative data from government, population censuses, business surveys and household surveys. No single survey can hence be referred to. Sources vary from country to country and may cover a large set of economic, social, financial and environmental items, which need not always be strictly related to national accounts. In any case, there is no single survey source for national accounts

18.2. Frequency of data collection

Data are collected from national sources.  As the breadth of the sources varies, so does the frequency of collection, from monthly to annually, and in the case of population censuses they are mostly collected every decade.  

18.3. Data collection

Data are transmitted via SDMX which introduced standardised codes.

National Accounts combine data from many source statistics. Techniques of data collection vary widely, depending on the compilation approach, the source statistics available, the particular account in the system of accounts, the timeliness of data release and other factors.

18.4. Data validation

Source data undergo a sequence of checks within national statistical institutes. The international organisation responsible for transmitting the series checks national data mainly for completeness (coverage of reference periods and variables) and consistency (accounting consistency, time-consistency between quarterly and annual accounts and consistency over time) and follows up with national statistical institutes on any lack of quality in this respect.

18.5. Data compilation

The data are compiled at a national level.  Eurostat converts volume series into indices to enable comparability of the estimates.

18.6. Adjustment

Not applicable.

Due to different revision policy between countries, there may be a difference between the aggregates and the appropriate sum of national data between updates. 

National accounts are a coherent set of macroeconomic indicators, which provide an overall picture of the economic situation and are widely used for economic analysis and forecasting, policy design and policy making.

The data presented in this collection are the results of a pilot exercise on the sharing selected main GDP aggregates, population and employment data collected by different international organisations. It was conducted by the Task Force in International Data Collection (TFIDC) which was established by the  Inter-Agency Group on Economic and Financial Statistics (IAG). 

The goal of this pilot was to develop a set of commonly shared principles and working arrangements for data cooperation that could be implemented by the international agencies. The data sets present national accounts data form various countries across the globe in one coherent folder, but users should be aware that these data are collected and validated by different organisations and not fully harmonised from a methodological point of view. 

The domain consists of the following collections:

National accounts - international data cooperation (naid_10)
Annual national accounts - international data cooperation (naida_10)
	GDP and main aggregates -international data cooperation annual data (naida_10_gdp)

• Net capital transfers from RoW
• (+/-) non-financial non-produced assets

National accounts aim to capture economic activity within the domestic territory. They combine data from a host of base statistics, and thus they have no common sampling reference frame.

National accounts combine data from many source statistics and administrative sources. The concept of statistical population is not applicable in a national accounts context.

Please refer to section 3.1.

The accounting period is the calendar year. Temporal coverage varying across geographical units.

Managed by sending organisation (see section 3.1 above for corresponding sending organisation for each reference area).

National accounts data are typically transmitted in national currency, and Eurostat transforms these data in EUR/ECU whenever the exchange rates are available.

The units published in this dataset are currently the following:

• CP_MNAC: Current prices, million units of national currency
• CP_MEUR: Current prices, million euro

Additionally, main aggregates data are also expressed in current prices, previous year prices and chain-linked volumes, but some countries still use constant price series based on a specific base year. These series can then be converted into other currencies and used to derive indices or growth rates.

The units published for main aggregates also include the following:

• CP_MUSD: Current prices, million US dollars
• CLV_I10: Chain linked volumes, index 2010=100
• KP_I10: Constant prices, index 2010=100
• THS_HW: Thousand hours worked
• THS_PER: Thousand persons

However, not all units are available for all countries and indicators.

For further explanations on the units see: nama_10 and namq_10, nasa_10_nf_tr, nasq_10_nf_tr, nasa_10_f and nasq_10_f metadata.

The data are compiled at a national level.  Eurostat converts volume series into indices to enable comparability of the estimates.

Countries use many sources to compile their national accounts, among them administrative data from government, population censuses, business surveys and household surveys. No single survey can hence be referred to. Sources vary from country to country and may cover a large set of economic, social, financial and environmental items, which need not always be strictly related to national accounts. In any case, there is no single survey source for national accounts

Daily, as transmitted by the data providing organisation.

Managed by sending organisation (see section 3.1 above for corresponding sending organisation for each reference area).

The data are compiled using the national accounts terminology.

Note: data may not be directly comparable as countries use different methodologies i.e. ESA2010, SNA 2008, SNA93 and the volume indices may be in chain linked volumes or constant prices.

Note: Data may be comparable over time only if they are compiled using the same methodology.
