OPTIMIZING THE SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS: CONCEPTUAL AND METHODOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES

This article examines the optimization of the System of National Accounts (SNA) in the context of evolving economic structures and increasing demands for accurate macroeconomic measurement. The study focuses on conceptual and methodological aspects of national accounting, highlighting key challenges related to data quality, consistency, timeliness, and international comparability. Special attention is given to the alignment of national statistical practices with the SNA 2008 framework, as well as the role of methodological improvements and data integration in enhancing the reliability of GDP and other macroeconomic indicators. The paper argues that optimizing the System of National Accounts is essential for improving economic analysis and supporting evidence-based policymaking, particularly in developing and transition economies.
