3. Title? Handbook on Supply and Use Tables: Compilation, Application, and Good Practices followed in Africa (practices relevant to Africa) Handbook on Supply and Use Tables: Compilation, Application, and practices relevant to Africa Supply and Use Tables: Training Materials for Africa Supply and Use Tables in Africa: Some Guidelines Supply and Use Tables in Africa: Compilation Guidelines and Good Practices followed in African countries Operational Guidelines for Compiling SUTs in African countries Guidance on compiling SUTs in African countries

4. Action points from EGM discussions Action point Responsibility Introduction before each chapterDB/RK Cross-referencing to SNA, wherever elaboration is necessary DB/RK Examples and exercisesFew examples by DB/RK and annexes to include country examples For each component of SUT, the structure of explanation could be (i) concepts, (ii) data sources ways to compile, (iii) examples As feasible DB/RK Chapter 7 (old) on balancing to include Steve’s example ECA Brief text on SUT uses in compiling IO tables/SAM/CGE models and their uses in policy and planning ECA Abbreviations and chapters editingECA

5. Chapter 1 More explanation and relationship between prices Explain that weaknesses also could be on supply side data Explain a bit more on cif/fob adjustment More products does not necessarily mean more quality of SUT Quote changes in 2008 SNA wherever there are changes Even if robust data is not available, countries should compile SUT as it presents the best structure for GDP estimation

6. Chapter 2 Brief text on estimation in the commodity flow approach when data is not available How to replace doubtful data Can we assume imports and exports to be firm

7. Chapter 3 Whether foreigners but residents expenditures are covered in HIES, if not how to adjust for this Some examples of PPPs could be included

8. Chapter 4 include it as part of Chapter 1

9. Chapter 5 Explain more on what is production Transport costs refer to only freight – need to be clarified in the text Is there any easy way for estimating CFC (explain in chapter 8 – problem areas) Explain a bit more on how to break-down when only the data on total tax is available – not by product break-down

10. Chapter 6 Cross-referencing and texts on the usage of words ‘or’ need to be relooked Use ‘final consumption expenditure’ term everywhere in the report Add in the definition of HFCE, ‘satisfaction of human needs’ For IC estimation, small samples on each industry could give input ratios

11. Chapter 7 What are the advantages and disadvantages of using RAS At what stage RAS and manual balancing should be used How to deal with large discrepancies Text on mechanical methods other than RAS

12. Chapter 8 More examples Will the use of SUT improve the coverage of these problematic areas What is their relative importance Increment in livestock – output and GFCF/CII – relationship may be explained Some text on FISIM and CFC How to allocate crops spread over different years

13. Chapter 9 Heading could be “Informal Economy in the context of GDP exhaustiveness” Difference between 1993 and 2008 SNA Advantages between direct and indirect approaches Linking text between SUT and exhaustiveness

14. Chapter 10 Text to include use of VAT data in estimating output of formal sector; and also mention income tax sources Can be sources of data given in the text be segregated by industries? More elaboration on specific IO surveys How to allocate product total TTM between trade and transport How to obtain government expnditures by product Can the Eurostat example be included in the chapter Add ‘water’ to utilities in the sources

15. Chapter 11 To explain the contexts when RAS is not appropriate and when to use modified RAS How long between benchmarks? To explain for how many years the SUT structure is valid Dealing with new industries in SUT updation What is the status of an updated SUT? Can the SUT updates be used for annual national accounts

16. Chapter 12 Text to mention that NPIs serving government and corporations are not part of NPISH Any changes in 2008 SNA on treatment of NPISH COFOG is difficult to implement and final budget data comes after two years To be part of chapter 3 on ICP requirements

17. Chapter 13 Text to include the role of national industry classification Concordance classifications adopted by Asian Development Bank (web link to be provided) Allocation of ‘other items’ Suggestions for improving resources for NA and SUTs (to collect the PPT of Burkina Faso)
