Republic of Azerbaijan: Technical Assistance Report-Report on National Accounts Statistics Mission (April 15-26, 2024)

A technical assistance mission assisted the State Statistical Committee of Azerbaijan (SSC) in developing the system of quarterly national accounts. It did so by reviewing the compilation of quarterly GDP by production and providing recommendations for further improvement. The mission also reviewed the compilation of quarterly GDP by expenditure and made recommendations to develop the chain-linked time series of household consumption and government consumption. These improvements to data and methods will improve the understanding of the Azerbaijan economy, both for domestic policymaking and international surveillance.
