United Nations Statistics Division’s Post

Exciting update! The pre-edited version (white cover) of the #2025SNA is now available electronically in English! 🌍 Translations in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, and Spanish will be completed in due course. Stay tuned!   Following its adoption by the 56th Session of the #UNSC56, as the international statistical standard for national accounts statistics, the #2025SNA is now available at: https://lnkd.in/eVysMUpa. The 2025 SNA introduces treatments for new aspects of the economy that have gained prominence, elaborates on elements that have drawn analytical attention and clarifies guidance on a wide range of issues, based on advances in methodological research and user needs. These include topics such as #globalization, #digitalization, emerging financial issues, #Islamic_finance and the #informal_economy. Notably, the #2025SNA broadens the national accounts framework to better account for elements affecting wellbeing and sustainability to inform various policy goals. To ensure full consistency, the 7th edition of IMF Integrated Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (#BPM7) was developed in parallel with the #2025SNA, sharing the same text in chapters relevant to both standards. #BPM7 is available at: https://lnkd.in/edNhRUb7. Countries are encouraged to implement both standards. The #ISWGNA organizations will support implementation of the 2025 SNA by providing additional guidance and technical assistance in accordance with the implementation strategy endorsed by the #UNSC56 (https://lnkd.in/eVysMUpa). The #2025SNA is published jointly by the five ISWGNA organizations: Eurostat, International Monetary Fund Data, OECD - OCDE Statistics, United Nations Statistics Division and regional commissions and The World Bank Group. #2025SNA #BPM7 #data #macroeconomic #statistics
