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.

Statistical Bulletin
Please refer to the National Accounts & Prices section for National Accounts publications.
The Bureau of Statistics has introduced a new series of Gross Domestic Product rebased and rebenchmarked to year 2006, replacing the series based in 1988. Below are downloadable files containing GDP by industry at constant and current prices for both the old (at 1988 prices) and new (at 2006 prices) series. A brief overview of the newly rebased and rebenchmarked GDP series is also available:
For older GDP series data not found in these files, please contact the National accounts Department via email: nactaccts@statisticsguyana.gov.gy
