1993 SNA Update Information - Expert comments for issue:
Tratamiento de la producción de los bancos centrales

Subissue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
En el SCN 1993 se recomienda cuantificar los servicios del banco central sobre la base de los ingresos que reportan los cargos, las comisiones y los servicios de intermediación financiera medidos indirectamente (SIFMI). A veces este método arroja estimaciones del producto positivas o negativas que son insólitamente elevadas. En consecuencia, en 1995 el Grupo Intersecretarial de Trabajo sobre Cuentas Nacionales (GITCN) decidió autorizar a los países a medir el producto de los bancos centrales, como segunda opción óptima, al costo. Sin embargo, el GITCN no ofreció pautas sobre las repercusiones que pudiese tener este método. El examen tiene por objeto aclarar el impacto de las distintas funciones que desempeña el banco central sobre las características del producto, y su valoración y asignación más apropiada.

 8/11/2004Fadhil Mahdi (ESCWA)The AEG received a recommendation regarding the Ou1put of central banks made by ISWGNA, where the Group agreed that the value of the output of the central bank obtained by the method recommended by the 1993 SNA (the difference between interest received and interest paid) may sometimes be exceptionally large or small or even negative. In such cases, the Group sees that the output of central banks, or at least part of it, could be measured at cost and this action should not lead us to consider the central bank as part of the general government sector. The decision on this issue has not been reached yet, i.e. the AEG will look into approving the changes made to paragraph 6.132 in the 1993 SNA and consequently the changes that must be made or not to paragraphs 4.85 and 4.121.
