Abstract

As a discussant, I will share my reflections on the updates of the System of National Accounts (SNA) and the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM). The update process, with the aim of having new versions available in 2025, is targeting topics in important areas such as globalisation, digitalisation, evolving financial markets, informal economy, and well-being and sustainability, to better reflect changes in the economy and to address specific statistical challenges that have emerged over the past years.
