About Statistics Publications & Documents Information by Country

National accounts (www.oecd.org/std/national-accounts), according to the international standard SNA93, provide comparable macroeconomic data by countries. One of the major indicators is the gross domestic product (GDP). They provide also comprehensive data by institutional sector (general government, corporations, households, rest of the world etc.). Thus, one can find an assessment of the disposable income, saving, net borrowing / net lending, as well as of stocks of assets and liabilities of the sectors.
