National economic accounts

Istat disseminates National economic accounts 1970-2009 time series at current prices. These series replace the series for the years 2007 and 2008 which were in the archive and are the periodic update of statistical sources used developing annual data.

Istat also publishes the series of economic accounts at chained prices (reference year 2000) and at previous year prices.

Aggregates contained in the time series are about accounts, production and value added, compensation of employees, consumption of households, employment, gross fixed capital formation and average values of main aggregates.

In the information note attached to the tables, a summary description is given of national economic accounts as well as some definitory aspects regarding data analysis. For further information see the press release published on 1 March 2010 “GDP and expenditure components-Year 2009”.
