National Accounts Division

Function: National Accounts Division compiles the national accounts of Guyana's economy which is subdivided into fifteen sub-sectors. Two of the most well-known variables produced by these accounts, and perhaps the two most requested by the public, are Gross Domestic Product and Per Capita Income.

Data collection: Data is collected on the output of the real and services sector of the economy. Examples of the data collected are: production of crops (such as rice, sugar, and other non-traditional crops), extraction of minerals (such as bauxite and gold), harvesting of seafood, and several manufactured items (varying from industrial items such as paint, to consumer items such as beverages).


Local Newspaper Headlines of Economic Interest

This feature is a list of headlines of articles on issues in our economy culled from the local daily newspapers since April 2008. The headline only and not the article is listed. However, a particular article can be requested from our database. Prior to April 2008, summaries of actual articles can also be downloaded.
