Outline Uses of Sectoral Financial Accounts(3) Institutional Responsibilities (4-5) Data Sources (6-7) Templates for Sectoral Accounts (8-19) Priorities (20-21) 2
Uses of Sectoral Financial Accounts Why compile sectoral financial accounts? Compilers should be clear on how the data could be useful to policymakers and other users In particular, users who may have some influence over the data compilation priorities of the agency Compilers should be able to sell the idea to senior management Critical for receiving support and resources Useful resource: IMF-OECD Conference Strengthening Sectoral Position and Flow Data in the Macroeconomic Accounts http://www.imf.org/external/np/seminars/eng/2011/sta/ 3
Institutional Responsibilities Responsibilities for macroeconomic statistics may be spread among different agencies For example: Central Statistics Agency National accounts (current and capital accounts or just GDP and its components) Central Bank BOP; IIP; monetary and financial statistics; financial accounts Ministry of Finance government finance statistics Therefore Who should compile the sectoral financial accounts? CSO because it is responsible for national accounts? Central Bank because it compiles the MFS? What role should each statistical agency play in compilation? 4
Institutional Responsibilities Factors to consider in deciding responsibility Legal framework Which agency has the legal authority to compile the statistics Which agency has legal authority to collect data from specific units central banks may only have authority to collect data from financial corporations Resources Needs and uses central bank may already be compiling flow of funds for internal use. Cooperation among Statistical office, central bank and other agencies (finance ministry) to determine responsibility Establish protocols between/among agencies Responsibilities for compilation may be split among agencies Decide which agency disseminates the data 5
Data Sources What do we have and how could we use it? Identify Existing Data Sources Financial/regulatory data E.g. securities statistics; banking statistics; insurance regulators; pension funds regulator; mutual funds regulator Other administrative data Existing survey data Macroeconomic statistics BOP; IIP; MFS; GFS Identify data produced not only by compiling agency but by all government agencies Establish data sharing arrangements 6
Data Sources Develop a data availability matrix For each instruments and sector Identify available sources Multiple sources? Rank sources Mirror data and cross-checks Identify data gaps How to address data gaps New data collection Cost; time frame. Estimation Aggregation less detailed estimation 7
Templates for Sectoral Accounts How detailed should the accounts be? Which sectors should be covered? Users/countries have diverse needs and compilers have to meet the needs of users Different data sources Resource constraints But: Need to promote international comparability 8
Templates for Sectoral Accounts An important milestone in taking forward the work on implementing Recommendation 15 of the DGI-1 (now recommendation 8 of DGI-2) is the development of Templates for a Minimum and Encouraged Set of Internationally Comparable Sectoral Accounts and Balance Sheets Template sets the scope of sectoral accounts and balance sheets Guides the implementation Ensures internationally coordinated efforts towards producing and disseminating internationally comparable sectoral accounts SNA a broad framework Need to ensure international comparability 9

Priorities A challenge given the various aspects of sectoral accounts and diverse situations among countries. The aim is to have internationally comparable sectoral accounts An economy would aim for greater details than the minimum required for internationally comparable data to meet national data needs. Ultimately, requirements for analytical and policy purposes should guide priorities. 20
Priorities Countries with full sectoral accounts Integrated sectoral accounts with more details for subsectors, financial and nonfinancial assets in line with 2008 SNA Financial positions and flows on a fromwhom-to-whom basis For financial corporations and general government subsectors For specific instruments Integrated sectoral financial positions and flows Remaining maturity and currency breakdowns Integrating other economic flows with stocks in sectoral accounts Breakdown of counterparts in ROW (economy and sectors) Move towards quarterly frequency Countries with some sectoral accounts Sectoral financial accounts and balance sheets in line with 2008 SNA. Start with financial corporations and general government subsectors - Stocks and then flows Sectoral current and capital accounts -Start with financial corporations and general government stocks of non-financial assets Fully integrated sectoral accounts IMF Statistics Department Financial positions and flows on a fromwhom-to-whom basis For financial corporations and general government subsectors For specific instruments Mix of quarterly and annual frequency 21
