Quality Report - National Accounts

National accounts integrate various flow and stock accounts for the purpose of providing an overall quantitative picture of economic activity in Germany. The intention is to obtain a comprehensive, clearly structured and sufficiently detailed picture for a period that has elapsed. Macroeconomic aspects and overall economic structures are shown in a system of tables and in the form of an integrated system of accounts with double-entry recording of any activities covered. National accounts for the Federal Republic of Germany are largely compiled at the Federal Statistical Office. One of the main aggregates of national accounts is the change rate of the price-adjusted gross domestic product, which indicates the economic development and is also referred to as economic growth. The German national accounts consist of domestic product calculations, input-output accounts, national wealth
accounts, employment accounts, labour volume accounts and financial accounts.
