The national accounts have the task of providing, in quantitative terms, an overall picture of economic activity that is as clear and as comprehensive as possible.

Central banks require information on the behaviour patterns of economic agents in the money-issuing and money-holding sectors of the economy to be able to conduct monetary policy.

Real interest rates are interest rates that have been adjusted for developments in purchasing power. They are broadly calculated as the difference between the nominal interest rate and the inflation rate (in the case of low interest rates and relatively stable prices).
