Bureau of Economic Analysis

[For the Bureau of Economic Analysis

statement of organization, see the Federal

Register of Dec. 29, 1980, 45 FR 85496]

The Bureau of Economic Analysis

(BEA) promotes a better understanding of

the U.S. economy by providing the most

timely, relevant, and accurate economic

accounts data in an objective and

cost-effective manner. BEA’s economic

statistics are closely watched and provide

a comprehensive picture of the U.S.

economy. BEA prepares national, regional,

industry, and international accounts that

present essential information on such issues

in the world economy.

BEA’s national economic statistics

provide a comprehensive look at U.S.

production, consumption, investment,

exports and imports, and income and

saving. The international transactions

accounts provide information on

trade in goods and services (including

the balance of payments and trade),

investment income, and government

and private f‌inances. In addition, the

accounts measure the value of U.S.

international assets and liabilities and

direct investment by multinational

companies.

The regional accounts provide data

on total and per capita personal income

by region, State, metropolitan area, and

county, and on gross State product. The

industry economic account provides a

detailed view of the interrelationships

between U.S. producers and users and

the contribution to production across

industries.
