Statistics

In 2001, the United Nations continued its statistical work programme. In March, the 24-member Statistical Commission endorsed the proposed new approach developed by the Intersecretariat Working Group on National Accounts for a better and more comprehensive assessment of the implementation of the System of National Accounts, 1993; welcomed the publication of a handbook on the measurement of capital stocks and flows; and adopted the draft manual on statistics of international trade in services. The Commission reviewed the work of a number of established bodies and international organizations in various areas of economic, social and environment statistics and made specific recommendations and suggestions.
