  • the need to develop a more user-friendly terminology,
  • communication about the revision cycle and sharing of research results,
  • compliance with the recommendations of international statistical standards,
  • developing a compilers’ hub,
  • the digitizing of international statistical and classifications standards.
• Further details on the mandate and operations; guidance notes and working procedures; composition; and key issues to be addressed by the CMTT are provided in the Terms of Reference.

Sub-task teams and focal areas

• To advance the various work streams of the CMTT five separate sub-task teams were established:
  • Development of Collaborative Hubs for Compilers of Economic Statistics – Terms of Reference
  • Interactive and Digitally-Enabled Statistical Standards for Economic Statistics and Classifications – Terms of Reference
  • Terminology and “Branding” of the Macroeconomic Accounting Frameworks – Terms of Reference
  • Development of a Taxonomy for Macroeconomic Accounting Frameworks – Terms of Reference
  • Compliance Framework for the Macroeconomic Accounting Manuals – Terms of Reference

Guidance notes, consultation, and engagement

• Purpose of global consultation:
  • To receive feedback from worldwide compilers/users of macroeconomic statistics not involved in the update process, with a view to informing further the proposals to be presented for formal approval to the IMF’s Committee on Balance of Payments Statistics (BOPCOM)/Advisory Expert Group on National Accounts (AEG).
• Consultation mechanics:
  • Each Guidance Note (GN) will be available for a period of four-weeks for global consultation after its posting on this webpage.
  • A survey accompanies each GN to collect comments from respondents.
