This paper describes the data sources and compilation methods used in estimating the quarterly national accounts (income, saving, assets, and liabilities).
What’s new in the fourth edition
The fourth edition captures all the changes and updates to the quarterly income, saving, assets, and liabilities sources and methods since March 2023.
The income, saving, assets, and liabilities statistics are experimental and may be subject to significant data updates in the future as we improve methodologies. Part of the rationale for releasing estimates on an experimental basis is to allow users an opportunity to comment on methods and details of published series.
