National accounts statistics are not facts. All over the world, very incomplete, imperfect, heterogeneous and partly outdated data are to be transformed into complete, consistent, internationally standardized and up-to-date overviews of the national economies and their major components. Compiling the national accounts can be improved in various ways, but this requires an international long-term strategy.

The purpose of this study is to find a sufficiently reliable volume index for output and value added of banking. The output consists of two components: commissions and FISIM; the latter being the largest part by far. Lacking directly observable and measurable prices, it is impossible to compose price indices of output in the usual way and to deflate FISIM with them.
