National accounts statistics 2023

The NAS is a framework that provides an internally consistent description of National macro economy based on the processing of data generated by the entire National statistical system. The estimates of National income and related aggregates and accounts are derived statistics that draw on basic data available from different primary sources. The primary sources consist of data generated as a by-product of public administration system (such as land records, collection of direct and indirect taxes, civil registration of births and deaths, etc.) as well as data collected directly through censuses and sample surveys conducted by official agencies of the Central and State Governments. For certain newly emerging activities such as software, where official statistical system is not currently in place, NAS also draws on selective non-official sources. The accuracy and quality of the National account estimates depend on (a) geographical coverage and quality of primary data; and (b) the methods, procedures and approximations used in translating the primary data into NAS framework. While the underlying concepts and methodology of compilation has been mostly standardised under the United Nations’ System of National Accounts (UN-SNA), procedures and approximations are shaped by the country-specific data collection system. This editions provides data on Macro-economic aggregates including sectoral analysis; General government; Households; Aggregates by economic activity; Disaggregated statements.
