The System of National Accounts (SNA) is designed to provide a realistic and compact view of the economy suitable for policy and analytical use. As the economy evoles and policy and analytical needs change, the SNA should be revised periodically to reflect the real changes taking place within economies, the evolution of financial and fiscal instruments, and the improvements of accounting methodologies. The SNA, as a macroeconomic statistical manual, is regularly being revised to reflect changes to the economy, to process improvements in the measurement of specific phenomena, and/or to update the way in which results are presented to users. The last version of the System of National Accounts dates to 2008 and a lot has changed since then.
To help its target audience to understand these changes and their implications, the African Union Institute for Statistics (STATAFRIC) is organizing a webinar series on the 2008 SNA update. The series will feature experts and institutional partners in the field who will discuss topics such as the Digitalization, Islamic Finance, and Globalization.
Whether you're a statistician, researcher, a policymaker, or a business professional, this webinar series is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the 2008 SNA update and its implications for your work. Don't miss this chance to stay up to date on the latest developments in economic measurement and analysis.
Below is the list of webinars held, with downloadable files.
