Result Based Management Framework - METAC

85
Improvements in the compilation of quarterly NA at current prices.
The main outcomes of TA on external statistics are:
Transactions related to aid are classified in accordance with BOP methodology
and adequately recorded under current transfers, capital transfers, and loans.
Consistency has been ascertained between BOP flows (current and capital
accounts) and IIP stocks.
The BOP and the IIP are compiled according to BPM6 methodology.
Implementation of BPM6 is expected by 2014.
An ITRS is being developed, subject to a positive feasibility study, and to the
willingness of the authorities to go ahead with implementation.
Outputs
The main outputs of TA in NA:
Mission reports.
Hands-on training on implementing the 2008 SNA methodology and improving
the compilation of quarterly NA at current prices.
The main outputs of TA on external statistics are:
Mission reports/summary conclusions.
Hands-on training on IIP compilation at the PCBS and the PMA.
Regional workshops on external statistics methodologies (BPM6, forthcoming
updated External Debt Guide).
Risks/Assumptions
Remarkable progress was accomplished over recent periods in the area of real sector and
external statistics to meet the authorities’ objectives of subscribing to the SDDS as soon
as possible. This was made possible because of the high dedication of staff at the PCBS
and the PMA. The consolidation of these results will, however, require additional
resources, in both institutions, commensurate with the increased burden of the
compilation of statistics at higher frequency and the necessity of observing SDDS
requirements at all periods. Institutional knowledge needs to be maintained through a low
turnover of staff.
