Consequently, new concepts have to be learned and operationalized, new transactions have to be measured and estimated, and new accounts have to be understood and compiled. The classification of transactions and transactors requires revisions in the approaches to data collection. The enterprise, the unit that makes decisions on the use of resources and which is the legal entity that enters into contract with other institutions, has to be considered hand in hand with the establishments in data collection.
