### Mandate and scope
- Advise the Inter‑secretariat Working Group on National Accounts (ISWGNA) and IMF’s Committee on Balance of Payments Statistics (BOPCOM) in the process of updating the System of National Accounts 2008 (2008 SNA) and the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6).
- Deal with issues arising from globalization and the treatment of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and special purpose entities (SPEs) within the framework of the revision.
- Further details on mandate, operations, guidance notes and working procedures, composition, and key issues are provided in the Terms of Reference.

### Timeline and operations
- GZTT will be operational mostly throughout Phase I of the update process until March 2022.
- GZTT may be consulted during Phase II (drafting of the 2025 SNA and the BPM7 chapters) on an as‑needed basis if significant issues arise during the worldwide consultation process.

### Global consultation process
- Purpose: receive feedback from worldwide compilers/users of macroeconomic statistics not involved in the update process to inform proposals to be submitted for formal approval to IMF’s Committee on Balance of Payments Statistics (BOPCOM)/Advisory Expert Group on National Accounts (AEG).
- Each Guidance Note (GN) will be available for a period of four-weeks for global consultation after its posting.
- Comment mechanism: respondents provide comments on a GN via an accompanying survey link.
- Reference: consult 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.
