IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation Programme9.2.1.1.1 Administrative Data sources9.2.1.1.1.1 Statistical AnnexAnnual financial statements of the enterprises have been one of the most importantadministrative data to estimate economic indicators. After the changes of NationalStandards of Accounting it was difficult to estimate the production and intermediateconsumption of the enterprises. In order to elaborate national accounts in cooperationwith the Ministry of Finance, Tax Authority and Albanian National AccountingCouncil, a new statistical annex (see Annex K) was part of the financial statements ofthe non-financial units consigned to Tax Authority. The statistical annex will be usedto check the consistency of the SBS data, to cover all the economic activities(including NOE estimations) and to estimate national accounts indicators as theoutput, intermediate consumption, value added and investment of the non-financialunits.9.2.1.1.1.2 Financial QuestionnaireThe FISIM calculations are regulated in Council Regulation (EEC) no. 448/98 of16 February 1998 and council regulation (EC) No 1889/2002. The former definesthe FISIM calculations of production and expenditure by institutional sector andthe latter implements them.The statistical units that are covered in the FISIM calculations are all financialinstitutions engaged in financial intermediation of loans and/or deposits where therate of interest is controlled by that very unit. The main financial institution thatproduces FISIM is banks.In order to evaluate the financial intermediation services indirectly measured(FISIM) and to allocate it to institutional sectors it is necessary to have specialinformation at level of units belonging to financial sector. For this purpose, in theframe of IPA 2007 project support for the alignment of the Albanian statisticswith EU standards, a special questionnaire (see Annex K) was elaborated tocollect information needed for improving the FISIM estimations in line withCouncil Regulation 448/1998.The data collected by the survey is for the years 2009 and 2010 and providesinformation about:‣ Stocks of loans and deposits for resident and non-resident sectors;‣ Paid and received interest;‣ Investment of banks;‣ Activity of local units.120/236

Some of itscomponents are estimated directly, including Net-Exports, Government FinalConsumption, and Final Consumption of Non-Profit Institutions and of Grossfixed Capital Formation.Final consumption of households is estimated by extrapolation using a range ofindicators resulting from production approach.As a result in the process of consistency of GDP by production and expenditureapproach, changes in inventories and statistical discrepancy are combined asresidual and balancing item.Actually, in Albanian National Accounts the decisive factor for the size of GDP isonly the production approach, without having any control from the expenditureside, and it means as well that the expenditure approach needs improvement.In the framework of IPA 2007 project, National Accounts component, theimprovement of Annual GDP by Production and by Expenditure is one of theobjectives.The aim is to evaluate the main components of GDP by expenditure approach:Households final consumption (HFC), Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF)and Government final consumption (GFC) independently from Production.The activity is focused on the estimation of the GDP in the independent way. Onthis purpose, main activities realized till now are:121/236
