Abstract
There are two basic issues with respect to the structure of the next version of the UN System of National Accounts. The first is its ‘size’: reviewing this issue, it can be concluded that the next SNA must be ‘large’ in the sense of containing an integrated meso-economic statistical system. The second issue concerns the analytical nature of the system. It is essential that the next SNA contains an institutional system without the imputations and attributions that pollute present SNA. This can be achieved by distinguishing, in the central system of the next SNA, a core (the institutional system), a standard module for non-market production and a standard module describing attributed income and consumption of the household sector.
