Key statistical concept
Quarterly national accounts (QNA) constitute a system of integrated quarterly time series coordinated through an accounting framework. QNA adopt the same principles, definitions, and structure as the annual national accounts (ANA). In principle, QNA cover the entire sequence of accounts and balance sheets in the System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA); in practice, the constraints of data availability, time, and resources mean that QNA are usually less complete than ANA. The coverage of the QNA system in a country usually evolves. In the initial stage of implementation, only estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) with a split by industry and/or type of expenditure may be derived. Gross national income (GNI), savings, and consolidated accounts for the nation can follow fairly soon. Extensions can be made as the use of the system becomes more established, resources become available, and users become more sophisticated; additional breakdowns of GDP, institutional sector accounts and balance sheets, and supply use reconciliation may be added.

Quality comments
It should be noted that, by and large, the procedures and systems for collecting and processing economic statistics in non-member countries are less well established than in Member countries. This is particularly the case for those countries that previously operated with a planned economy. Thus, the time series are generally not very long, and are less reliable and more prone to breaks due to changes in methodology over time than the long established series that exist for many Member countries.

Quarterly national accounts (QNA) constitute a system of integrated quarterly time series coordinated through an accounting framework. QNA adopt the same principles, definitions, and structure as the annual national accounts (ANA). In principle, QNA cover the entire sequence of accounts and balance sheets in the System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA); in practice, the constraints of data availability, time, and resources mean that QNA are usually less complete than ANA and this will vary by country. This dataset presents QNA data in current prices compiled by the production approach. Note, that as non-member countries are not required to report QNA data to the OECD on a standardized basis, the industries for which data are available in this dataset vary across countries with a limited degree of overlap.
Recommended uses and limitations
This dataset contains time series for 6 countries that are not OECD Members, namely Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russian Federation and South Africa. For China, data are reported on a cumulative basis through the year, i.e. each successive quarter represents year to date figures and thus the quarterly data does not form a coherent time series. It should be noted that, by and large, the procedures and systems for collecting and processing economic statistics in non-member countries are less well established than in Member countries. This is particularly the case for those countries that previously operated with a planned economy. Thus, the time series are generally not very long, and are less reliable and more prone to breaks due to changes in methodology over time than the long established series that exist for many Member countries.

Quarterly national accounts (QNA) constitute a system of integrated quarterly time series coordinated through an accounting framework. QNA adopt the same principles, definitions, and structure as the annual national accounts (ANA). In principle, QNA cover the entire sequence of accounts and balance sheets in the System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA); in practice, the constraints of data availability, time, and resources mean that QNA are usually less complete than ANA and this will vary by country. This dataset presents QNA data in constant prices compiled by the production approach. Note, that as non-member countries are not required to report QNA data to the OECD on a standardized basis, the industries for which data are available in this dataset vary across countries with a limited degree of overlap.
Recommended uses and limitations
This dataset contains time series for 5 countries that are not OECD Members, namely Brazil, India, Indonesia, Russian Federation and South Africa. It should be noted that, by and large, the procedures and systems for collecting and processing economic statistics in non-member countries are less well established than in Member countries. This is particularly the case for those countries that previously operated with a planned economy.

QNA adopt the same principles, definitions, and structure as the annual national accounts (ANA). In principle, QNA cover the entire sequence of accounts and balance sheets in the System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA); in practice, the constraints of data availability, time, and resources mean that QNA are usually less complete than ANA, and this will vary by country. This dataset presents QNA data in current prices for GDP total and the key expenditure components.
Recommended uses and limitations
This dataset contains time series for 6 countries that are not OECD Members, namely Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russian Federation and South Africa and data provided for China is only annual. It should be noted that, by and large, the procedures and systems for collecting and processing economic statistics in non-member countries are less well established than in Member countries. This is particularly the case for those countries that previously operated with a planned economy. Thus, the time series are generally not very long, and are less reliable and more prone to breaks due to changes in methodology over time than the long established series that exist for many Member countries.
