  1. Situation of Annual National Accounts data and metadata in 2009 November 2009—La Muette Esther Bolton 1

  2. Annual National Accounts Situation • Database provides consistent and comparable data. • Data Availability: See table 1 in STD/CSTAT/WPNA(2009)5 • Common OECD-Eurostat questionnaire is sent to sna.contact@oecd.org • Indication of methodology changes to include with data transmission 2

  3. Availability of data • OECD database covers almost all the tables of the questionnaire • Table 0119 has been removed from the Eurostat questionnaire • Data to be provided in the format of the given questionnaire or countries to adopt SDMX format • Improvements in data transmission but still a lack of data and more precisely on fixed assets tables. 3

  4. Dissemination of data • Paper, OLISnet (OECD.stat) and Cd Rom • Currently three volumes: Volume I, Main aggregates; Volume II, Detailed tables; Volume IV, General Government data annual. • As from 2010: • New publication National Accounts at a glance (NAAG) • Volume I and II issued together once in July. 4

  5. Dissemination of data Volume II modified to better reflect users' needs • Labour data shown in Hours, • New breakdown of Final Consumption of Households by durability; • General Government Expenditure by function 5

  6. Methodology • FISIM Allocated for all countries except Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Turkey • All OECD member countries now compile accounts according to 1993 SNA 6

  7. Linkages in the OECD ANA database : Why are we using this method? • For countries which have recently changed their methodology and therefore are sending shorter time series. • Users demand long and continuous time series • In consequence: countries are asked to specify any change in their methodology 7

  8. Linkages in the OECD ANA database:How is it done? • Calculation of the ratio between new and old definition data on the first common year . • This ratio is then applied to old definition data for the time period missing in new data • These calculated data are marked as “E” for estimated data in the database. 8

  9. Access to data • Access is free to NSOs and Governments : • http://www.oecd.org/olisnet • OECD.stat enables to display any set of data from OECD databases • http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx 9

  10. In summary : • Send as much information /data as possible • Special effort to supply tables 2000 (fixed assets by industry and by type of assets) and 2600 (Balance sheet for non-financial assets) • Non EU countries invited to report their plans to provide second digit level of the COFOG classification • The use of NAWWE is highly recommended. 10
