Difficulties encountered during data processing
Regarding the questionnaire 7IA : The Field 3 (consolidation) of the questionnaire is not always filled. The unit multiplier is not systematically filled or wrongly filled as well. Non appropriated symbols are inserted in the cells. The time period covered differs from the previous submission without any explanations.
10
Difficulties encountered during data processing
Regarding data validation, some inconsistencies appear following : Hierarchical controls of assets for each sector. Hierarchical controls of sectors for each asset. Differences appear between the Financial accounts’ and the 7IA’s questionnaires regarding reported data of the sector S125.
11
Future projects To improve the comparability of these statistics between the OECD member countries by creating: Series in US dollars. Series as a percentage of GDP Graphics To develop the methodology. To disseminate these statistics. They are already on OECD.STAT, accessible to governments, delegates and OECD internal users. To put them onto Source OECD to reach a larger audience. Paper publication?

Conclusions The data collection on institutional investors becomes more an more complete thanks to you. However, efforts should be done concerning: The filling up of the questionnaire. The time, sector and assets coverage: 2006 data should be reported for all sectors and all assets when applicable and available. The reporting of non financial assets should be enhanced. The consistency in hierarchical sums of assets and sectors. The coherence with Financial accounts related to the Insurance companies & Pension funds (S125).
