IPA 2009 Multi-beneficiary StatisticalCooperation ProgrammeInventories <strong>for</strong> the total economy, to secure exhaustiveness, we have made someestimations, calculating the following ratios:1- Total Turnover (From NA calculations) / Balance sheet turnover2- Total Intermediate Consumption / Balance Sheet Intermediate ConsumptionBased on the ratios listed above, we calculated Inventories at Average Prices <strong>for</strong>Total Economy, multiplying the estimated ratios with Balance sheets inventories inaverage prices. Ratio no 2 is used <strong>for</strong> the Raw Material Inventories <strong>and</strong> the other oneis used <strong>for</strong> other types <strong>of</strong> inventories.Estimates are carried out by branch <strong>of</strong> NA activities, but not by enterprise size. Themethod is based on adjustment coefficients between the balance sheet data <strong>and</strong>National Accounts’ corresponding aggregates. For different types <strong>of</strong> inventories,different adjustment coefficients are applied: <strong>for</strong> the raw materials the coefficient isdeveloped from the intermediate consumption; <strong>for</strong> the work in progress <strong>and</strong> finishedgoods the coefficient is developed from the output. Opening stock <strong>and</strong> the closingstock have different coefficients as well. The opening stock is considered as a result<strong>of</strong> the economic behavior <strong>of</strong> the previous year; there<strong>for</strong>e the adjustment coefficient ispicked up from the previous year. For the closing stock the data <strong>for</strong> the current yearis used. Below are presented data derived by an exercise developed <strong>for</strong> the year2002:73Tab E.2: Changes in Inventories, year 2002Data from Balance sheets (mln.LEK) In average prices (mln.LEK)Year 2002Raw Materials 2,460Work-in-progress 1,030Finished goods -81Goods <strong>for</strong> resale 4,294Total 7,704Year 2002Raw Materials 892Work-in-progress 1,030Finished goods -908Goods <strong>for</strong> resale 2,748Total 3,761We have to mention that these are experiments <strong>and</strong> no data is published due to lack<strong>of</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation.203/236
