Current compilation procedures
Jamaican System of National Accounts prepared on the 1993 United Nations System of
National accounts (1993 SNA) base year for the constant price estimates is 2007
![Page 9: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Current compilation procedures
Annual national accounts estimates prepared using the production, income and expenditure approaches
Quarterly national accounts estimates prepared using the production approach
![Page 10: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Current compilation proceduresAnnual GDP by product
Estimated at current and constant prices classification of industries used in the accounts is the
Jamaica Industrial Classification (JIC 2005) -a local adaptation of the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC Rev.3)
![Page 11: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Current compilation proceduresAnnual GDP by product (cont’d)
a production account is compiled for each product group in an industry
production accounts by industry are calculated at the five digit level of the JIC
twelve industry categories - disaggregated into 248 product groups
![Page 12: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Current compilation proceduresAnnual GDP by expenditure
Estimated at current and constant prices Expenditure approach – sum of household spending,
government spending on goods and services, investment in fixed capital (construction, machinery and equipment), change in inventory and exports less imports of goods and services
![Page 13: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Current compilation proceduresAnnual GDP by expenditure (cont’d)
Household Final Consumption Expenditure is classified using Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP)
Government Final Consumption Expenditure currently not classified using COFOG
Gross fixed capital formation is broken down by type of capital goods
![Page 14: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Current compilation procedures Quarterly GDP by product
The preparation of quarterly value added estimates incorporates the use of quarterly indicators to extrapolate value added by economic activity
Quarterly estimates at constant prices are derived from quantity indicators or value indicators, which are deflated by appropriate price indices. Trend extrapolation is also utilized when there are no available indicators
![Page 15: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Current compilation procedures Quarterly GDP by product (cont’d)
The estimates are benchmarked to the annual estimates using the ‘BENCH’ programme which is a generalization of the Denton Method. This programme was developed by Statistics Canada (STATSCAN)
The estimates are seasonally adjusted using the
X11ARIMA seasonal adjustment method
![Page 16: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
New Requirements for 2008 SNA Ancillary activities
A producer undertaking purely ancillary activities should be treated as a separate establishment and classified according to principal activity
This methodology is currently being used in the Jamaican system
![Page 17: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
New Requirements (cont’d)Financial Services
FISIM: Jamaican system Currently calculated as property income
receivable less interest payments Currently allocated between intermediate
consumption (not by industry but rather as a notional industry) and household consumption
![Page 18: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
New Requirements (cont’d)Financial Services
FISIM should be calculated with respect to a reference rate
Output of FISIM = (rL-rr)fL + (rr-rD)fD,rr=reference rate
rL=interest rate on loans
fL=stock of loans
rD=interest rate on deposits
fD=stock of deposits
![Page 19: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
New Requirements (cont’d)Financial Services
Actions to be taken Identify a reference rate that excludes service
charge and reflects the risk and maturity structure of deposits and loans
Allocate that part of FISM apportioned to intermediate consumption to user industries
![Page 20: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
New Requirements (cont’d)Financial Services
Output of Central Bank Currently being estimated as the sum of costs in
Jamaican system New recommendation is to separate the services
of the Central Bank into the 3 groups: financial intermediation monetary policy services supervisory services
![Page 21: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
New Requirements (cont’d)Research & Development
The output of research and development should be capitalized
Jamaican system Research and development activities were not
identified separately on Annual National Income questionnaire. As a result, these would have been included in ‘other expenditure’ and treated as intermediate consumption
![Page 22: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
New Requirements (cont’d)Goods for processing
In the case of goods sent abroad for processing, the export of the processing country is the processing fee, which is also the output of the processor as there is no change in ownership of goods
This methodology is currently being used in the Jamaican system Methodology needs to be harmonized with the
Balance of Payments
![Page 23: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
New Requirements (cont’d)
Treatment of employee stock options as compensation of employees
Valuation of output for own final use by households and corporations to include return to capital These areas require further research to inform
actions to be taken
![Page 24: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Other Improvements
Identify methodology to estimate consumption of fixed capital of Central Government including public education and health
Collaborate with the Ministry of Finance to estimate imputed pension contribution by Government
Revision of Annual National Income questionnaires Review of administrative data sources
![Page 25: Implementation of 2008 SNA in Jamaica. Outline Policy issues - relationship with national accounts framework The Jamaican System of National Accounts.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5514b5cc550346b2598b652c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Next Steps
Classify Government Final Consumption Expenditure using COFOG
Publish GDP by expenditure at constant prices Revise JIC based on ISIC Rev 4 Ongoing revisions to the estimation of the non-
observed economy• Introduction of monthly production volume index
and expansion of producer price index• Household Expenditure Survey to be undertaken in
2015
