Abstract
Systems of national accounts and balances contain various subsystems, which include in particular the input–output subsystem. Integration of systems of national accounts and balances implies a process whereby the separate subsystems are arranged into a coherent whole. During development, consistency of the system as a whole is normally increases as the ties between the subsystems grow stronger.
It can be hoped that the ongoing revision of systems of national accounts and balances should enhance integration of input–output statistics with consolidated national accounts. The corresponding solutions should make increased use of existing country practices and provide for a flexible approach, which is fully in line with the duel character of the consolidated national accounts. They should also distinguish the needs of annual small-size input–output tables and those of large-size tables which are compiled over longer time periods.
