Further features of the System • Satellite Accounts: for specific needs e.g. Economic Accounts for Agriculture, Environmental Accounts, Tourism, Health Care. • Supply and use tables / symmetric input-output tables: details of the production process and flows of goods and services. • Price and Volume Measures
