Explanation of Solution

National income statistics estimates the level of production in the economy at some particular time; taking the economy as a whole, it will explain such a situation. In the long run, it will be helpful to determine if the economy is growing, constant, or declining. It offers a foundation in order to design and to apply public policies to eventually helping the economy’s performance to improve. In case national income statistics are not present, then the economic policy will just be a prediction. It also lends a helping hand to define policies that will preserve and also improve the economy's health.
