Conclusions of the seminar Seminar on the implementation of the System of National Accounts 2008 in the Western Asia Region Muscat, Oman, 23-26 May 2010

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 1. Welcomed the initiative by Kuwait to undertake the translation of the 2008 SNA in Arabic and agreed to form an editorial board, with ESCWA as the secretariat. The purpose of the editorial board is to support Kuwait in the review of the translated text to ensure the consistent translation of national accounts terms and definitions.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 2. Agreed to use the Implementation programme for the 2008 SNA and supporting statistics, adopted by the Statistical Commission, as the framework for formulating their national and regional implementation programmes for the 2008 SNA.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 3. Agree with the importance of high frequency indicators, as reflected in the Ottawa data template, for the early detection of changes in economic trends and will include the collection and dissemination of high frequency indicators in the implementation programme for the 2008 SNA and supporting statistics.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 4. Welcomed the proposed implementation tools the Statistical System Information sheet and the Diagnostic Tool, and agreed to use these tools to assess the appropriateness of the national statistical production process to support the implementation programme for the 2008 and supporting statistics.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 5. Welcomed the initiative by UNSD to establish a dedicated website to track and support the implementation programme for the 2008 SNA and supporting statistics.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 6. Welcomed the Knowledge base for economic statistics and macro economic standards established by UNSD and agreed to provide material on country practises to be posted on the website.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 7. Agreed that a vision document is an important step to establish a road map for the implementation of the 2008 SNA and supporting statistics. Apart from a vision statement and a future roadmap, the vision document should report on the statistical and institutional needs and changes to the statistical agenda; while adhering to the principles of being cost effective, fit for purpose and informing about the present instead of the past.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 8. Support the establishment of an Advisory Expert Group to support, advise and direct the development and progress on the regional implementation programme for the 2008 SNA and supporting statistics and requested ESCWA to prepare a draft terms of reference for the AEG taking into account that AEG members should be appointed on an individual basis and be able to contribute on all aspects of the statistical production process.

Main conclusions Participants of the Seminar: 9. Agreed on the following indicators of progress for formulation of the national and regional implementation programme for the 2008 SNA and supporting statistics: i) Provide comments on the Diagnostic Tool by 15 June 2010.

Main conclusions Indicators of progress: ii) Update the Statistical System Information sheet and submit it to UNSD by 30 June 2010 together with information on: - a focal point in the country that can be contacted regarding matters on the 2008 SNA implementation programme; - a timeline for the diagnostic assessment report based on the self assessment within 3-4 months; - a timeline for the completion of the vision document developed based on the diagnostic assessment within 18 months; - the kind of assistance needed, if any, for formulating the vision document.

Main conclusions Indicators of progress: iii) Make available the report on the outcome of the diagnostic exercise by end September 2010 to the UNSD; iv) Complete the vision document by the end of 2011 and submit the report to UNSD for posting on the SNA implementation website; and v) Report by ESWCA on the regional programme for the implementation of the 2008 SNA and supporting statistics to the ESWA statistical committee in October 2010.
