This is hindered both by the absence in the Russian system of national accounts of an auxiliary (satellite) account for contributions to the economy of the non-profit sector (the methodology for compiling such accounts was developed by the UN back in 2003), and by the insufficiency of existing statistical indicators in Russia for a full analysis of such a contribution. Based on world practice, the author’s methodology for assessing this contribution is proposed and the results of its application to the available data of 2021 are presented. The total contribution of NGOs to GDP in 2021 is about 1.5%.
