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.
