System of National Accounts

The System of National Accounts (SNA) is a framework used by countries to measure their economic performance and activities. It provides a comprehensive set of data on the production, consumption, investment, and income within an economy. By organizing this information, the SNA helps governments and policymakers understand economic trends, assess living standards, and make informed decisions. It includes indicators like Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which reflects the total value of goods and services produced, serving as a key measure of economic health. Essentially, the SNA provides a structured way to analyze and report on national economies.
