Preliminary Release Highlights Fourth Quarter 2025

Topic Description
Z.1 statistical release files redesigned ***Preliminary -- subject to change*** The Z.1 statistical release PDF, corresponding HTML tables, and the Recent Developments webpage have been redesigned to improve readability and user experience. The redesigned Recent Developments webpage, now also included in the Z.1 PDF, incorporates updated summary text with additional charts and tables. The redesigned HTML tables now more closely align with tables in the Z.1 PDF, utilizing the same series descriptions and row indentation formatting. In addition, HTML table series codes now link to the series analyzer tool entries in the Financial Accounts Guide.
Z.1 tables to be renumbered and reorganized for the June 2026 release ***Preliminary -- subject to change*** The Z.1 tables will be renumbered and reorganized for the June 2026 publication. The new numbering system will closely align with the System of National Accounts (SNA) classification hierarchies for sectors and instruments and will utilize recommended SNA alphanumeric codes. Adoption of the SNA table structure will enhance the international comparability of the U.S. Financial Accounts and improve scalability when sectors and/or instruments are added or removed from the Accounts. A complete mapping of the current table structure to the new numbering system will be posted with the June preview release.
