The Handbook provides a complete discussion of the issues of measuring prices and volumes in the national accounts. It discusses the general principles as well as the deflation of individual goods and services. It is fully consistent with the principles of the European System of Accounts 1995, and is intended to elaborate those. The handbook provides a useful tool for Member States, candidate countries and other countries to improve the price and volume measures in their national accounts in a harmonized way.
