Summary
- Reviews the role of the General Data Dissemination System (GDDS) in helping developing and emerging market countries improve the dissemination of macroeconomic and sociodemographic data.
- Considers whether the GDDS, in the way it was designed about a decade ago and enhanced along the way, has fulfilled its purpose.
- Considers whether the GDDS remains relevant to its current and prospective members, given:
- ongoing global integration,
- increasing emphasis on transparency and governance mechanisms,
- and increased reliance on the Internet and electronic data transmission.
Main questions and analytical focus
- Has the GDDS fulfilled its original purpose as designed about a decade ago and through subsequent enhancements?
- Does the GDDS remain relevant to current and prospective members in light of:
- greater global integration,
- stronger demands for transparency and governance,
- growing reliance on Internet-based and electronic dissemination of data?
Purpose and scope (as described)
- Focus on dissemination improvements for macroeconomic data.
- Focus on dissemination improvements for sociodemographic data.
