1. FISIM State of play
Agenda Item 3

2. Criteria for degrees of readiness
Degree of technical readiness is based on compilation of
FISIM allocation by components required by the Regulation
Internal and External reference rates
Allocation to user sectors
Calculation of export and import by the required breakdown
Calculation of intermediate & final consumption of HH sector
Although calculation of FISIM at constant prices and allocation among industries is required by the Regulation, these components were not used as criteria for assessing the technical readiness.
