Background and purpose
- The International Monetary Fund’s Executive Board regularly reviews progress and developments under the Data Standards Initiatives.
- The last review—Eighth Review—undertaken in February 2012 introduced the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) Plus.
- This Ninth Review takes a longer term retrospective in light of the long experience under the Data Standards Initiatives established in the mid-1990s, aiming to summarize what has been achieved so far and to highlight lessons learned.
Summary findings
- The review highlights a clear contrast between the progress of countries with more advanced dissemination practices (SDDS and SDDS Plus), and the slow pace of improvement under the General Data Dissemination System (GDDS).
- Emphasis is on lessons learned from experience since the mid-1990s rather than on new technical amendments.
