Abstract:There is a growing interest in short-term economic disturbances and short-term income behaviour of countries pursuing a development programme. The analysis of these phenomenons is frequent ly impaired by ambiguities and gaps in national statistical reporting. This article is directed toward that problem: it presents a system of national accounts designed to help identify and measure the sources of short-term disturbances in a developing economy. First the author discusses a simplified system of national income and product accounts and then considers how to integrate the monetary analysis. Finally appears a truncated form of money-flows statement (integrated with the national income and product accounts), but one that may be expanded and elaborated as more statistics become agailable and as a more sophisticated range of financial instruments and processes is adopted in Kenya.
