Key findings on data compilation and implementation of prior recommendations
- Authorities have partially followed the recommendations from the previous mission that took place in April 2022.
- Significant progress has been achieved in below-the-line data.
- Little progress has been made in above-the-line data.
- No developments have been achieved regarding the institutional sector coverage.
- One of the main issues hampering GFS data quality is that no comprehensive data on the government revenues and expenditure exist in Suriname.
Financial stocks, flows, and consistency checks
- Compilers from the Statistics Department of the Central Bank of Suriname have compiled a financial balance sheet of the Central Government (CG) to assure the integration of flows with the stocks of financial assets and liabilities.
- Compilers perform regular consistency checks of data on the CG deposits and loans with the recordings in the banking system.
Capacity building and training
- The mission provided an extended hands-on training for the main GFS team compiling above-the-line transactions.
