National income and expenditure accounts, quarterly estimates
Abstract
This publication presents information about Canada's National Economic and Financial
Accounts (NEFA). These accounts portray the evolution of the Canadian economy
on a quarterly basis. They record the components of income and expenditure,
saving and investment, and borrowing and lending of each of four broad sectors
of the economy: (i) persons and unincorporated businesses, (ii) corporate and
government business enterprises, (iii) government and (iv) non-residents. Some
information is also provided for sub-sectors of the second and third sectors.
The sum of the final (non-transfer) income or the final (non-intermediate) expenditure
of all domestic sectors equals gross domestic product at market prices, the
market value of total production in Canada.
The publication begins with an overview article, reviewing and analyzing economic
developments in the most recent quarter. Some issues also contain a second,
more technical article explaining national accounts methodology or analyzing
a particular aspect of the economy. It also includes a glossary.
