### Chapter 2. Overview of the Integrated Framework
- Scope and purpose
  - Provides an overview of the Integrated Framework.
- Relationship to other chapters
  - Chapter 3 is titled "Flows, Stocks, and Accounting Rules."

### Chapter 4. Residence, Institutional Units, and Sectors
- Scope and structure
  - Chapter 4 will follow the 2008 SNA chapter structure (i.e., Chapter 4: Institutional units and sectors).
  - In drafting, only issues relevant from the external sector statistics (ESS) perspective will be included in BPM7.
  - Important changes relevant from the ESS perspective are presented in the IMF Statistics lecture.
- Sectoring and institutional classification
  - Sectoring of fintech companies clarified:
    - Classify fintech companies within the existing institutional sectors/subsectors depending on the economic objectives, functions, and behavior—without introducing a new sector “Fintech”.
  - An overview of institutional sectors will be updated, including revised Tables 4.1 (SNA classification of institutional sectors) and 4.2 (BPM6 classification of institutional sectors).
- Subsectors and ESS reporting
  - Subsector reporting to the IMF will include:
    - Other financial corporations (OFCs) reported as supplementary items.
    - Separate identification of nonfinancial corporations (NFCs) from households and nonprofit institutions serving households (NPISHs).
    - “Of which” items for special purpose entities (SPEs) as supplementary items for deposit-taking corporations, OFCs, and NFCs sectors.
- Special Purpose Entities (SPEs)
  - Use of the term SPEs limited to entities with direct and indirect foreign control; do not use it to refer to any type of financial entity created for a special purpose.
  - Special purpose units of general government:
    - To be included under the general government sector.
    - If non-resident, treated as separate units consistent with BPM6/2008 SNA.
    - Introduce enhanced imputations, considered appropriate and sufficient, to better reflect the fiscal operations of government-controlled SPEs (see related guidance in Chapter 8).

### Chapter 15 Globalization
- Objective and scope
  - The new BPM7/2025 SNA Chapter 15 Globalization aims to bring together information from BPM7 and other sources to describe measurement challenges associated with globalization.
  - Topics covered include:
    - Multinational enterprises
    - Global production
    - Measurement challenges
    - Alternative indicators and supplementary information to monitor the impact of globalization and meet users needs
    - Analytical tools
  - The BPM chapter will include issues that are relevant from the external sector statistics perspective.
- Multinational enterprises (MNEs)
  - Will include MNE definition and description of their activities, including role in production, trade, direct investment, and international transfer of knowledge and technology.
  - MNEs establish special purpose entities (SPEs) not only to channel financial investments globally, but increasingly, for other activities such as to manage intellectual property rights, research and development, and trade.
  - Will include a standardized and internationally agreed definition of SPEs.
- Measurement challenges
  - Identified challenges:
    - Complex financing and ownership structures, production fragmentation across countries, cross-border mobility of assets, etc.
    - Challenge: An MNE is not seen as a single entity in macroeconomic statistics.
  - Stated goal:
    - Ensure that all MNE activities are captured, not duplicated, and properly allocated by economic territory.
- Alternative indicators, supplementary information, and analytical tools
  - The chapter intends to provide alternative indicators and supplementary information to monitor the impact of globalization and meet users needs.
  - Analytical tools will be included to support better visibility and analysis of globalization-related activities in macroeconomic and external sector statistics.
