Abstract

This Manual on regional accounts is an update of the two methodological booklets of 1996. In addition, it includes the modifications introduced by the ESA 2010. ‘Regional accounts are a regional specification of the corresponding accounts of the national economy. Regional accounts provide a regional breakdown for major aggregates such as Gross Value Added (GVA) and household income.’ (ESA 2010, par. 13.02) Regional accounts play an important role in providing such essential indicators.
