Statistical discrepancy
Statistical discrepancy is the difference between demand and supply in na-tional accounts. Even though by definition the items should be equal in the national economy, they usually deviate from one another due to deviation in statistical sources and they are not forced to be equal in the Finnish system of accounts.
In financial accounts, the statistical discrepancy describes the difference be-tween net lending in financial accounts and non-financial national accounts.
