The article considers the importance of studying the System of National Accounts (SNA) at economic universities for increasing knowledge on functioning economy at macro level and acquiring broad economic thinking skills. In this context, the article considers underlying SNA concepts, definitions, and classifications that determine the content of its key aggregates (GDP, GNI, National wealth and others).
