1993 SNA Update Information - Country comments for issue:
Prises en pension

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Une prise en pension consiste normalement en la vente de titre ou d’autres actifs et en un engagement de racheter des actifs équivalents à un prix particulier. Le marché des prises en pension a évolué depuis la parution des lignes directrices du SCN. Notamment, contrairement à ce que laisse entendre le SCN de 1993, le droit de revente à des tiers est devenu presque universel. Le traitement des prises en pension prévu par le SCN de 1993 et la cinquième édition du Manuel de la balance des paiements est comparable à celui d’un prêt garanti ou d’autres dépôts si la prise en pension porte sur des passifs classés à titre de monnaie au sens large, telle que définie aux fins des mesures nationales. Y a t il lieu de réviser le traitement prévu au SCN de 1993?

  Date postedSourceComment
 9/15/2006United KingdomWe agree with the recommendations made by the AEG, including keeping the issue on the research agenda. We support the extension of the text to cover related transactions on gold etc.
 9/15/2006LatviaAfter deep discussions and expert consultations we basically support the 1993 SNA Update Issues.
 9/14/2006Bank of LithuaniaWe agree with the AEG recomendations.
 7/28/2006LithuaniaIn general we support the recommendations.
 7/27/2006EgyptWe agree with the suggested treatment in the July meeting.
 2/23/2006South African Reserve Bank We agree with the AEG recommendations.
 1/27/2006Central Bank of El SalvadorYa que no se establece una conclusión definitiva, el tema debería mantenerse en agenda y continuar dando el tratamiento que sugiere el SCN 1993 hasta que se establezcan criterios claros para una nueva clasificación.
 12/22/2005Serbia and MontenegroWe agree with the suggested changes.
 12/14/2005FranceL'INSEE soutient la recommandation consistant à maintenir le traitement actuel de ces opérations sous forme de prêt avec collatéral. Il note toutefois que la solution actuelle est une solution d'attente, le sujet n'ayant pas fait l'objet d'un accord général au sein des experts.
 12/13/2005CanadaCanada agrees to continue the treatment of repurchase agreements transactions as collateralized loans.
 12/12/2005Bank of KoreaWe agree with the recommendations made by the AEG in respect that the research about systematic classification of financial assets is a matter of our priority, owing to financial transactions' continuous changes.
 12/9/2005RussiaRosstat largely supports the recommendations on the updating 1993 SNA, made at the July 2005 meeting of the Advisory Expert Group on National Accounts.
 12/6/2005Central Bank of NorwayThe Central Bank of Norway supports the AEG view that the 1993 SNA recommendation on reverse transactions should be changed since it is based on the premise that in most cases, the securities do not change hands and the buyer does not have the right to on-sell them. Securities subject to repos are now often on-sold. The present SNA recommendation applied on a situation where repos are on-sold to a third party may give double counting. Treating the cash provider’s short position from on-selling as a negative asset is an improvement compared to the recommendation in the 1993 SNA, but it is not the ideal solution. Since the “four-ways approach” is the most accurate approach when on-selling is permitted and the business community seems to be moving towards this approach, the approach could replace the “collateralized loan approach” as the preferred approach when on-selling is permitted.
With the disagreement about the treatment of repos in the statistical communities we support the proposal that the issue should remain on the research agenda.
 12/5/2005DenmarkAgreement
 12/5/2005Central Bank of ColombiaEl criterio utilizado por las cuentas financieras de Colombia para clasificar las operaciones REPO es el plazo y se clasifican como préstamos a corto plazo en moneda legal y/o moneda extranjera y no se tiene en cuenta para su clasificación la existencia de colaterales. Por otra parte, los Títulos que respaldan las operaciones REPO no se pueden negociar de ninguna manera en el mercado. Su clasificación bajo estas condiciones no presenta mayores inconvenientes para las estadísticas financieras y monetarias de Colombia.
 12/2/2005NetherlandsWe generally support the recommendations of the AEG.
 12/2/2005AustraliaAustralia agrees with the decision to keep reverse transactions on the research agenda as a satisfactory resolution could not be reached. However, we do not support the proposed clarification to treat short positions as negative assets as this presupposes an outcome on this issue. There are logical arguments on both sides of the debate which need to be reconciled before any decisions on the treatment of these transactions can be made.
 12/2/2005TurkeyWe agree with the recommendations made at the July 2005 meeting of the Advisory Expert Group on National Accounts.

 12/1/2005United KingdomWe agree with the AEG decisions.
 11/30/2005Slovak RepublicSO SR give support to AEG recommendation related to ongoing effort for clarification of issue.
 11/30/2005ItalyIstat fully agrees with the recommendations made at the July 2005 meeting of the Advisory Expert Group on National Accounts.
 11/30/2005National Bank of the Republic of MacedoniaWe agree with the recommendations of the AEG i.e. for the continuation of collateralized loan approach for reverse transactions.
 11/30/2005State Bank of PakistanWe have gone through recommendations made by Advisory Expert Group (AEG) and fully agree with them.
 11/29/2005Central Bank of TurkeyWe agree with the continuation of collateralized loan approach for reverse transactions. However, clarifications are needed.

 11/21/2005USAWe agree with the recommendations of the AEG.

Because: the right to on- selling has become almost universal. The sale of securities or other assets with a commitment to repurchase equivalent assets at price are suitable.
 9/30/2004Lesotho - Central Bank"The 1993 SNA and the BPMS treat the repos similar to that of a collateralized loan or as other deposits if repos involve liabilities classified under national measures of broad money" Comment: This should be revised; the collateralized loan should not incorporate sterilized and blocked loans.
