Background

In November 2009, the IMF/FSB report to the G-20,
The Financial Crisis and Information Gaps, identified a
need to address data gaps, grouped into four main
inter-related areas:






20 Recommendations to address data gaps were
identified


Although initiatives started with G-20 endorsement and periodic reports
submitted to G-20, the data gaps initiatives have global perspectives and
implications
Inter-Agency Group on Economic and Financial
Statistics, created in December 2008, oversees and
coordinates the implementation of recommendations

2
Build-up of risk in the financial sector
Cross-border financial linkages
Vulnerability of domestic economies to shocks
Improving communications of official statistics
Latest report in June 2011: http://www.imf.org/external/np/g20/pdf/063011.pdf
Members are BIS, ECB, Eurostat, IMF (Chair) OECD, World Bank, and UN
G-20 Recommendation #15
The IAG, which includes all agencies
represented in the Inter-Secretariat Working
Group on National Accounts, to develop a
strategy to promote the compilation and
dissemination of the balance sheet approach
(BSA), flow of funds, and sectoral data more
generally, starting with the G-20 economies.
Data on nonbank financial institutions should
be a particular priority. The experience of the
ECB and Eurostat within Europe and the
OECD should be drawn upon. In the medium
term, including more sectoral balance sheet
data in the data categories of the Special
Data Dissemination Standard could be
considered.
