with the
UN-NAQ Questionnaire
Workshop on National Accounts

Introduction.
 UN National Accounts Questionnaire
 Scope of national accounts statistics
reported to the UNSD.
 Scope of 1993 SNA implementation.

 At the request of the UN Statistical Commission
(UNSC) the UNSD
 Collects National Accounts data from Member States
 regularly evaluates the conceptual compliance of official
NA data with the recommendations of the 1993 SNA
 The data is collected annually through the National
Accounts Questionnaire (UN-NAQ)
 Collected from individual country and/or regional
organizations like United Nations Economic
Commission for Europe (UNECE); OECD; or through
the Caribbean Community Secretariat (CARICOM)
 Many countries are not able to submit the minimum
requirement data set (as defined by the UNSC) to the
UNSD.


SAARC Member States and Afghanistan report
their national accounts data directly to the
UNSD through the UN-NAQ




The scope of national accounts data reported to the
UNSD is evaluated against a standard “minimum
requirement data set” (MRDS), and against the
“milestone” achieved
A set of MRDS required for meaningful policy decision
making, was adopted by the UNSC at its 32nd
session in 2001 .
The UNSC at its 29th session in 1997 defined
statistical implementation “milestones”.
Milestone and compliance with the identified
indicators - both evaluate the scope of 1993 SNA
implementation

Elements affecting the level of GDP
Gross capital formation (GCF)/output











Is government defence expenditure on fixed assets that can be used for civilian purposes included in GCF?
Is consumption of fixed capital included on all government fixed assets (roads, dams and breakwaters and
other forms of construction except structures)?
Is all mineral exploration (successful and unsuccessful) capitalized?
Is expenditure on computer software purchases included in GCF and on software development included in
output?
Is expenditure on entertainment, literary or artistic originals included in GCF and on their development
included in output?
Is expenditure on valuables included in GCF?
1993 SNA extends the production boundary of households to include all goods produced by households
for own consumption:: are these goods included in output?
Is the natural growth of cultivated forests included in GCF?
Volume estimates
Are volumes estimated using a chaining procedure with annually changing weights?
Social contributions/insurance
Are unfunded social contributions (for sickness, unemployment, retirement etc.) by enterprises imputed as
compensation of employees and included as contributions to private employer initiated social insurance
schemes?
Rather than be based just on premiums less claims, do non-life insurance estimates include premium
supplements?
Elements affecting GNI


Are reinvested earnings estimates included in the rest of the world account?
Are foreign workers’ remittances excluded?
Elements not affecting the level of GDP/GNI

Final consumption

Is government final consumption expenditure broken down into individual and collective consumption?
Implementation milestones for the 1993 SNA
Phases of implementation

Availability of NA data from the South Asian
countries has increased in the past.
There are 4 countries that have implemented
the 1993 SNA in the last 3 years.
Hopefully we can work together to improve
the implementation of international standards
to national accounts of the South Asian
countries.
Thank You
