The course is designed to assist officials in the compilation of monetary and financial statistics in accordance with international best practices.
The methodology covered in the course is based on the Manual on Monetary and Financial Statistics and the Compilation Guide for Monetary and Financial Statistics, which expand on the definitions, classifications, and valuation principles for monetary and financial macroeconomic analysis while maintaining consistency with the System of National Accounts 1993.
The course discusses the principles of economic sectorization, the characteristics and classification of financial instruments, and valuation and other accounting issues that are relevant to the compilation of analytical accounts for the entire financial sector, comprising the central bank, other depository corporations, and other financial corporations. The second part of the course is devoted to financial statistics, which comprise the financial flows and stocks of all sectors of the domestic economy and their interactions with the rest of the world. The framework for financial statistics (also called financial accounts or flow of funds in a number of countries) also studies the interrelationships among the monetary, financial, balance of payments, government finance, and national accounts statistics. The course consists of lectures, workshops, and case studies.
