For a sector the balance sheet shows the value of all assets-produced, non-produced and financial-and liabilities and the sector's net worth. For the total economy the balance sheet provides as balancing item what is often referred to as national wealth : the sum of non-financial assets and net financial assets with respect to the rest of the world.

Dans les comptes nationaux, un compte de patrimoine est établi pour chaque secteur, pour l'économie totale et pour le reste du monde. Quand il concerne un secteur, le compte de patrimoine fournit la valeur de tous les actifs (produits, non produits et financiers) et de tous les passifs, ainsi que la valeur nette. Au niveau de l'économie totale, le solde du compte de patrimoine renseigne sur ce que l'on appelle souvent le patrimoine national ou la richesse nationale, qui correspond à la somme des actifs non financiers et des créances financières nettes vis-à-vis du reste du monde. Le compte de patrimoine du reste du monde, appelé compte des actifs et passifs extérieurs, comprend uniquement des actifs et des passifs financiers. 1, record 11, French, - bilan
