This report provides an update on the transmission of Annual National Accounts (ANA) data to the OECD. It highlights improvements made in data availability and dissemination, as well as methodological changes and the status of the new OECD-Eurostat National Accounts Questionnaire. Access to data and recommendations for future improvements are also discussed.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Situation of ANA data and metadata in 2008 • Transmission to the OECD : progress report

  2. Annual National Accounts Situation • Joint OECD-Eurostat questionnaires are sent to sna.contact@oecd.org. • Data Availability: See table 1 of document. • Improvements have been achieved but still lack of data on fixed assets tables. • Indication of sizeable methodology changes with data transmission.

  3. Dissemination of data • Paper, CD-Rom and OLISnet (OECD.Stat) • Volume I: Main aggregates of national accounts –Available in January of each year—New version forthcoming. • Volume II: Detailed tables of national accounts—Available in July of each year– New version forthcoming. • Volume IV: General Government accounts– Available in January—Will be included into the new version of Volume II.

  4. Methodological changes • Allocation of FISIM to industries and institutional sectors for almost all OECD countries; except Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Turkey. • Turkey has moved from SNA68 to SNA93. • All OECD member countries now compile according to SNA93.

  5. Status of New OECD-Eurostat National Accounts Questionnaire. • New questionnaire finalised, sent to non-EU countries in September 2007. New EU questionnaire sent in October 2007. • Countries not using the new questionnaire yet: Australia. • Good co-operation between Eurostat and OECD.

  6. Accession countries • Chile, Estonia, Israel, the Russian Federation and Slovenia. • SNA data for Slovenia, Estonia and Israel have been processed and updated in ANA database. • Chile’s and Russian’s data have been received but have not been processed yet.

  7. Access to data • NSOs and Governments have free access to data and metadata via OLISnet http://www.oecd.org/olisnet • Possible to view data and metadata on OECD.stat.

  8. Questions/recommendations • When do Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Turkey intend to send allocated FISIM data? • Special effort is required to supply tables 2000 (fixed assets by type of industries and by asset type). • Non-EU countries to consider providing the second digit level of the COFOG classification. • Countries are encouraged to supply their data via NAWWE. • Indication of any changes in methodology is required.

  10. National Accounts World Wide Exchange Status Update

  11. NAWWE Project: Status 2006: XML Schemas and Structure Files Created • Data and Metadata structure definitions have been created based on SDMX-ML V 2.0 XML schemas. • Concepts included in the Metadata structure definition have been drawn from a draft version of the SDMX cross domain metadata concepts. 2007: Questionnaire Content • EuroStat confirmed the final version of the new national accounts questionnaires at the end of October 2007. • NAWWE Data structure definition was updated with the new questionnaire content. 2007: NAWWE Registry • A registry was put in place on the NAWWE web site for NSOs to register SDMX-ML data files 2008: Data Registration • The Bureau of Economic Analysis (USA) have registered an SDMX-ML data file in the NAWWE registry.

  13. Next Steps: NAWWE Data Flows SDMX-ML Data Files • NSOs to provide, host and register NAWWE data files in SDMX-ML format. • Tools for creating or converting to SDMX-ML format: Metadata Technology conversion tools; Excel generic SDMX-ML generator. NAWWE Web Application • Development to transform NAWWE SDMX-ML into different formats: CSV and data visualisation. • Future support for web service registration as well as than static hosted XML files.
