Suggestion on Improving Expenditure-Based National Accounts To strengthen expenditure-based national accounts, the following steps are suggested: Use Real-Time Digital Data: Integrate GST, UPI, DBT, PFMS, and GeM data for accurate and timely estimates. Measure Unorganised Sector Better: Conduct quarterly micro-surveys to capture rural and urban informal consumption. Standardise State Data: Adopt a uniform framework for consistency and comparability. Track Green Expenditure Separately: Include renewable energy, climate adaptation, and pollution control. Enhance Transparency: Provide a public dashboard explaining key methodological changes. Conclusion: These measures will improve accuracy, transparency, and policy relevance of national accounts.
