The Joint Communication Task Team (CMTT) deals with issues arising from 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, and 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.
To advance the various work streams of the CMMT five separate sub-task teams were established, listed blow with a link to their respective terms of references:
• 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
The purpose of this global consultation is 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). Each GN will be available for a period of four-weeks for global consultation after its posting on this webpage. Please refer to the BPM6 Update: Compendium of Research Issues for the full list of topics on which GNs will be prepared by the BPM6 Update Task Teams and made available for global consultation.
