National Accounts Statistics are derived from the calculation of estimates for economic activity of a nation which use accounting techniques called national accounting. They are calculated using the System of National Accounts (SNA) methodology covers work on National Accounts in both current and constant prices.

Common and basis components of metadata include graph labels and footnotes. Additional details are usually found in the explanatory notes which would provide the user of the data with concepts, sources and methods among other attribute of the dataset.

The System of National Accounts (SNA) is the internationally agreed standard set of recommendations on how to compile measures of economic activity. The SNA describes a coherent, consistent and integrated set of macroeconomic accounts in the context of a set of internationally agreed concepts, definitions, classifications and accounting rules.

In addition, the SNA provides an overview of economic processes, recording how production is distributed among consumers, businesses, government and foreign nations. It shows how income originating in production, modified by taxes and transfers, flows to these groups and how they allocate these flows to consumption, saving and investment. Consequently, the national accounts are one of the building blocks of macroeconomic statistics forming a basis for economic analysis and policy formulation. The SNA is widely used across countries in the world, and is the standard tool for comparing economic performance across countries and periods, and across economic sectors in a single period. It was developed jointly by various international organizations spearheaded by the United Nations Statistical Commission.
