The 'Bureau of Economic Analysis' ('BEA') is an agency in the
United States Department of Commerce that provides several important statistics on the
economy of the United States.
The primary responsibility of the BEA is to maintain statistics on the balance of accounts in the United States. Perhaps the most watched of these statistics is the
gross domestic product of the
United States. Its stated mission is to "promote a better understanding of the U.S. economy by providing the most timely, relevant, and accurate economic data in an objective and cost-effective manner."
