### Instructions and contacts
- Responses: provide answers by clicking check boxes or typing in framed textboxes that expand automatically.
- Coordination recommended between national agencies responsible for national accounts and balance of payments compilation (for example, National Statistics Office and Central Bank).
- If only one agency provides a coordinated answer, indicate which area of macroeconomic statistics is covered.
- A printable version of the questionnaire and the guidance note are available at the SNA Consultations webpage of the United Nations Statistics Division, and the Globalization Task Team webpage on the IMF’s BPM6 website.
- Contact emails for questions: SNA-Globalization@imf.org and copy sna@un.org.
- Issuer: Globalization Task Team.

- Question 2B: free-text: "Please provide arguments in favor of your response."

### Guidance Note (GN) summary and overall stance
- Globalization has fragmented production across economies into production chains between resident and non-resident firms—the basis of global value chains (GVC).
- The Guidance Note (GN) does not recommend changes to core SNA 2008 and BPM6 concepts to support GVC analysis.
- The GN supports:
  - including a description of GVCs and Trade in Value Added (TiVA) in the next set of manuals; and
  - developing supplementary information for analysis to help motivate greater uptake.
- Within the SNA, the GN favors building:
  - TiVA indicators,
  - GVC satellite account, and
  - more granularity using the extended supply and use tables (eSUTs).
- Within the BPM, supplemental cross-border statistics detailed by geography or product are proposed and have been agreed by the IMF’s Committee of Balance of Payments Statistics — see BOPCOM19/04 page 26 and table 3A of the GN.

### Questions on conceptual change to SNA and BPM
- Question 3A: "Do you agree that no changes are needed to the concepts of the SNA and BPM to support GVC analysis?" Options:
  - Strongly disagree
  - Disagree
  - Neutral
  - Agree
  - Strongly agree
- Conditional follow-up (if 3A = Strongly disagree OR 3A = Disagree): free-text 3B requesting specification of why.

- Conditional follow-up (if 5A = Strongly disagree OR 5A = Disagree): free-text 5B requesting what is missing.

### Support for supplementary SNA information for GVC analysis

Measures listed with response scale Strongly disagree / Disagree / Neutral / Agree / Strongly agree and space for explanation if strongly disagree or disagree:
  - TiVA indicators
  - GVC satellite account

  - Strongly disagree
  - Disagree
  - Neutral
  - Agree
  - Strongly agree
- If 9A follow-up required, Question 9B: free-text explanation.
