IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeIndices of volume on “retail trade” and “sale and repair of motorvehicles”Foreign tradeDeflators Balance of electric powerFrom this survey we can get data for the electric power separated by sources andusers, in volume and value. Actually, for this branch of the economy we have aspecific case of investigation. We estimate this by the direct method. So the value ofoutput is equal with the value invoiced to the consumers. To estimate the output atconstant prices, we create a volume index which is based on the total KW powerproduced in the country and the total KW power imported. This series can be used toproduce the output at constant prices. The total value of the imported KW power isconsidered as an intermediate consumption; in addition to that there is also thedomestic IC. To estimate the domestic IC we suppose that it is constant per each KWin the short run. So, from the latest annual data where we have a domestic IC we finda ratio of IC per KW which we use to estimate the current domestic IC. In this waywe estimate the total IC as a sum of both. For the deflating IC, we create a priceindex from the imports to deflate the import part, and for the domestic part we createan index from the IC/KW series. All data needed above are available nearly 70-80days after the quarter has finished. For a detailed description of data collected fromthe balance of electric power, see Annex H Tab H.1. Short term statisticsThis survey covers some of the economic branches such as: industries, construction,trade, hotel, transport and communication. Volume and value data based on quarterlyfrequencies are collected in the survey. For a detailed description of the collecteddata, see the Annex H, Tab H.2 – Tab H.5. Indices of volume on “retail trade” and “sale and repair of motor vehicles”In this survey, we have collected some data such as those of non-specialized storewith food, beverages, tobacco, total sale and repair of motor vehicles, etc, which arebased on the “NACE 4” classification. For a detailed description of data collected seethe Annex H, Tab H.6. Foreign tradeThe data related to the foreign trade comes from the General Customs Directoratewhich is based on the Combined Nomenclature classification. These are grouped bycountries where they are imported from or exported to. This data has a monthlyfrequency of collections. In general, we use some of this data to create the volumeindexes in comparison with the data coming from other sources, or in the case ofelectricity, in order to estimate the electricity imported and exported for each month.Deflators160/236
IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeFrom this Directorate we get also all deflators which will be used to create our seriesat constant prices. These deflators are CPI (consumers’ price index), PPI (producer’sprice index), NIM (net interest margin), CCI (construction costs index) and UVI(unit value index). Some of these indexes are collected on a monthly basis, such asCPI and UVI, and the others are collected on quarterly basis, but for the interest ofour estimation all these indexes are taken on a quarterly basis. As mentioned above,at Quarterly National Account we work in 25 branches and for each of them we havea specific deflator. In some branches we use a total one, for example in publicadministration, health, education, we use a total CPI. In some others, such as post &telecommunication, we use the respective CPI. And for all other industries, we use arespective PPI. CCI is used only for the construction area, and NIM for financialactivity and FISIM. The deflators are all available 65 days after the end of therespective quarter. A detailed level of deflator used is given in the Annex H, TabH.7.18.1.3 Social Statistics Directorate (INSTAT)This Directorate provides quarterly employment data separated for Agriculture,Administration and non Agriculture sectors. For the moment, because this data is notdetailed, we use it only for comparisons purposes.18.1.4 Bank of Albania.Bank of Albania provides us with data of Banking Sector related to the financialactivity and FISIM (Financial Intermediation Services Indirectly Measured). Thisdata is grouped in data of the banks of second level and data of the Central Bank ofAlbania. From these two groups, we calculate the total incomes from interests, totalexpenditure for the interests and incomes from other activities. This data becomeavailable nearly 65 days after the respective quarter has finished.18.1.5 Ministry of FinanceThe Ministry of Finance provides us with administrative data which are allocated forpublic administration, health, education, and taxes and subsidies. These data aregiven on a monthly basis. Based on the area of data, it is respectively classified inone of the groups above. This data is available nearly one month after the respectivequarter has finished18.1.6 Albanian Financial Supervisory AuthorityIn the financial activity, it is also important to include the insurances which arecollected by Albanian Financial Supervisory Authority. This institution provides uswith the data regarding gross written premiums and gross paid claims, also somevolume data for the number of policies and the number of paid claims. Each of thedata above is separated in life insurance and non life insurance. To date, we have notincluded this data but we have started to make some steps in creating data series. The161/236
