BEA - Timeliness: On-time release of economic statistics

The importance of data as an ingredient for sound economic decision-making requires BEA to deliver data to decision-makers and other data users not only quickly but also reliably—that is, on schedule. Each fall, BEA publishes a schedule for the release of its economic data the following year; this measure is evaluated as the number of scheduled releases issued on time. BEA has an outstanding record of releasing its economic data on schedule.数据作为科学合理经济决策的核心要素，其重要性要求美国经济分析局（Bureau of Economic Analysis，BEA）不仅需向决策者及其他数据用户快速交付数据，同时还要保障发布的可靠性，即严格按照既定时间表完成发布。每年秋季，BEA都会发布下一年度的经济数据发布日程；该考核指标以按时发布的预定数据发布次数作为统计依据。BEA在经济数据按时发布领域拥有优异的实绩记录。
