Abstract

The guidelines are published for use as a methodological tool and a compendium of case studies on the integrated approach to economic statistics in order to assist countries in producing macroeconomic statistics that are consistent and coherent with short-term, annual and benchmark economic statistics. The guidelines present the integration framework of economic statistics based on current best practices for the entire spectrum of statistical agencies, including countries with centralized and decentralized statistical systems and countries at different stages of economic and statistical development.
