## What this funds

The United States is widely recognized as the world's economic information leader. This is due, in large part, to the high-quality statistics produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and complementary analysis produced by the Office of the Under Secretary for Economic Affairs (OUSEA). Although a relatively small agency, BEA publishes some of the most closely watched and influential economic indicators that directly affect decisions made by policy makers, business leaders, and consumers. In FY 2027, the BEA / OUSEA Budget request of $119.5 million preserves the timeliness, relevance, and accuracy of the Nation's most critical economic statistics produced by BEA and essential oversight and support provided by OUSEA.

This request also includes a program increase of $3.5 million (8 positions) to produce the world's first official economic statistics on monthly business investment. These new estimates will help fulfill the Administration's need for timelier economic information on domestic investment.
