Services financiers

Subissue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
L’exploitation des sociétés financières a subi une transformation structurelle en faveur de la gestion de portefeuilles d’actifs financiers dont l’objet est de générer des gains de détention alors que la simple intermédiation a perdu en importance. Il y a lieu de revoir la définition des sociétés financières et des services financiers afin d’assurer que toutes les activités des sociétés financières sont adéquatement capturées dans le SCN L’examen s’étendra également à la mesure de la production en volume des services financiers.

 8/11/2004Fadhil Mahdi (ESCWA)The main recommendation related to his issue, raised by the OECD task force and submitted to the AEG, tackled redefining the non-insurance financial corporations seems relevant where the “financial intermediation" term was replaced by the "financial services", in addition, it enhanced the 1993 SNA definition to include "risk management", liquidity transformation" and/or "auxiliary financial activities” that lead to the production of the non-insurance financial services. The AEG also proposed to consider this definition standing for all financial corporations including insurance corporations. In the meantime the AEG recommended to consider "own funds" to be included as a source of funds for the provision of financial services and is also considering “money lenders" providing such financial services as financial entities. As for measuring financial services and its implications for the SNA, it has not been finalized yet and it is expected to clarify this part of the issue later by the end of 2004.
