Annual national accounts

National accounts is a statistical system that describes Finland’s national economy comprehensively, systematically and precisely. It is based on the European System of Accounts ESA2010, which comp-lies with the world-wide SNA2008 (System of National Accounts) recommendations for national ac-counts. Capital stock calculations describe the stock of fixed capital used in the production of goods and servi-ces, gross capital formation, physical depreciation and reduction of value, or consumption, of capital.
