It discusses the principles and concepts underlying the methodology for the collection, compilation, and analytical presentation of monetary statistics as set out in the 2016 Monetary and Financial Statistics Manual and Compilation Guide (MFSMCG). This course provides the participants with an introduction of the framework for compiling monetary statistics, namely their fundamental building blocks. These include the key concepts of institutional units and sectors, residency and economic territory, and the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities. It also explains the accounting rules for compiling MFS, including time of recording and valuation principles.

Finally, the course sheds light on the compilation process for money and liquidity aggregates, domestic credit, and other relevant indicators, along with their significance in macroeconomic analysis and policy formulation.
