Essential SNA - Building the basics - 2014 edition - Products Manuals and Guidelines

Within the framework of statistical cooperation, Eurostat is conducting a series of projects that aim at a successful implementation of the 2008 System of National Accounts (SNA) in the Least Developed Countries, micro-states and other countries that have not yet implemented the SNA. The handbook "Essential SNA Building the Basics" intends to support a successful implementation of the SNA, giving instruments to make an analysis of basic data when preparing national accounts statistics for the first time or improving the existing situation. The 2014 handbook develops the work undertaken over the last four years. It includes the most recent developments of the Intersecretariat Working Group on National Accounts (ISWGNA) and its work on monitoring 2008 SNA implementation. A new chapter covering the implementation of quarterly national accounts has been introduced with this edition.
