NEWS RELEASE NATIONAL ACCOUNTS 02 NOVEMBER 2015

Statistics Iceland publishes now the non-financial institutional sector accounts data for 2012 and 2013, along with revised data for 2000-2011.

The main revision from previously published figures is that data used to split the production account between sectors for 2008-2011 have been enhanced. Other changes are due to the results of revised figures in the national accounts accounts published on the website of Statistics Iceland in September this year.
