Handbook on measuring data in the System of National Accounts
The inclusion of “Data” as a new class of produced assets represents one of the most significant innovations in the 2025 System of National Accounts (SNA). This handbook, developed by an international task team jointly led by Eurostat and the International Monetary Fund, is designed to support compilers in incorporating this important new feature into their national accounts systems.
Additionally, the handbook serves as an informational resource for users who wish to understand the representation of data output and data capital formation in the estimates.
