Some suggestions on regional priorities in the complilation of the accounts and tables of the 1993 SNA in African countries

Abstract

This paper is primarily intended to suggest a skeleton of the accounts and tables of the 1993 SNA that in the opinion of the ECA secretariat should be attempted in sequence by the countries of this region, bearing in mind the limitations in data sources and the current stage of national accounts development in most countries of this region/1. In so doing, attention will be paid to special classifications which are of particular interest or concern to countries of this region, e..g., market and non-market production, urban and rural sectors, formal and informal sector activities, the sub-division of enterprises into public, national private, and foreign controlled, key industry (activity) and key products, etc.
