IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeCHAPTER 17: QNA COMPILATION APPROACHQuarterly National Accounts are a harmonized system of quarterly time series dataadopting the same principles as the Annual National Accounts. Quarterly NationalAccounts data will have a time-series character, which means that they are identicalover time and will apply to same estimation principles of the annual seriesestimations. This is necessary, because they are working on the basis of the sameconcept over time that makes different periods comparable. Comparison of differentperiods gives us the possibility to provide a long time series; when the time seriesconcepts need to be as longer as possible.As we mentioned above, Quarterly National Accounts and Annual NationalAccounts need to be consistent in principle. This means that both series will be basedon the same base year prices and on the same deflator rate. Also, the quarterly datawill be measured by annually based benchmarking techniques. Quarterly NationalAccounts are less completed that annual ones, because the later uses more accurateand timely data sources, like balance-sheets, annual surveys etc. Actually, theQuarterly National Accounts in Albania are based only on estimating quarterly GDPof production approach.158/236
IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeCHAPTER 18: GDP AND COMPONENTS: PRODUCTION APPROACH18.1 Data SourcesTo estimate Quarterly GDP, we first need to have all the available data to be used forthis evaluation. This is the most important part of the process, because the results ofthe Quarterly GDP will be based on the quality of data. In general, the entire dataconsist of volume and value data. For a quarterly GDP, the most useful providers ofdata are: General Directorate of Taxes Economic Statistics Directorate (INSTAT); Social Statistics Directorate (INSTAT); Bank of Albania (BoA); Ministry of Finance (MoF); Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority; Ministry of Agriculture and Food (MAF);18.1.1 General Directorate of TaxesThis Directorate provides data from the VAT format of declaration, data which areprovided monthly in electronic form to INSTAT. From the declaration format, weget turnover and identification information for each of the enterprises. Based on thedeclaration tax authority law “Law no. 9920, dated 19.05.2008 "On Tax Proceduresin the Republic of Albania", this monthly information is given only from bigenterprises, (which are those with an annual turnover higher than 8 million LEK),which for 2008 was nearly 10.000 enterprises. The data becomes available nearly 65-75 days after the quarter has finished. After these data are available, differentanalyses are made by the analysts.18.1.2 Economic Statistics Directorate (INSTAT)A lot of data are collected from the Economic Statistics Directorate that INSTATproduces. It conducts quarterly surveys of a number of industries. In theory, the datashould be more suitable for annual and quarterly NA purposes. Because theircoverage is very small, their quality is very low especially in some industries.The estimation method currently used in the STS-survey takes into consideration thenumber of employees and the value of turnover. All enterprises with 10 and moreemployees are included following the example of the enterprises with 1-4 and 5-9employees, based on size class. The enterprises that have realized less than 5 percentof the total turnover on group activities (division, 2 digit level by NACE) areexcluded from this example.Data that come from this Directorate can be grouped in: Balance of electric power Short term statistics.159/236
