Base Change - Reference 2010

Brazil

ECLAC National Accounts SeminarNovember 2013 Santiago, Chile

What are the reasons to change the series of the System of National Accounts?

• Update the weights no longer makes sense because the recommendation is to value the constant price accounts in the previous year prices.

• Classification• Database• “Benchmark surveys”• International recommendations

Changes in Brazilian SNA

Initially the basic dillemas:

How to proceed the updates?

Wait until completing all tasks?

How long?

Accuracy x timeliness.

Definition: the updates cannot go over and over the years.

Actions:

No more than three years

Recommendations split into three groups:

immediately feasible, feasible within a short

time lenght, not feasible or not important.

The base change extends for five years.

Setting a timeline for new revisions

Seminars on methods with intense users

2010 CHANGE - Why?

• CNAE 2.0 Classification (ISIC Rev. 4)

• Database• New data• Surveys periodicity (not annual)• “Benchmark surveys”

• International recommendations – 2008

SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ACCOUNTS 2008

ImprovementsAgriculture:

- data incorporation from the Census of Agriculture 2006

Manufacturing and Services: - Intermediate Consumption Survey - Trade and Transportation Margins Surveys - Treatment of government units, households, NPIs serving households;

GFCF- Research and Development: Satellite

Account developed with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation;

- Software: to be estimated, the assessment is that it is possible to obtain data;

- Database: no data;- Military Equipment: already estimated;- Mineral exploration: current assessment

of the available sources;

Government: detailing of the IS Public Corporations (currently with non-financial corporations)

Consumption: - Incorporation of data from the Household

Budget Survey (POF);- Incorporation of fiscal data of households- Model for allocation of rents based on the

Census of Population 2010;- New model for estimating consumption

Multinational Enterprises: we adopted the recommendation

Social Security Contributions:The classification of contributions in pension or non pension will not be adopted. That is, there is no detailed information. As for the benefits, disaggregated data is available.

Defined benefits and defined contributions Although there is no specific classification for the operations of this type of plans in the 2008 SNA, their identification is relevant for allocating the contributions. In Brazil, there are technical and operational issues for implementing the recommendations of identifying the type of scheme contributions and benefits, considering the size of the public sector in Brazil and the wide variety of situations among states and municipalities. It remains being the treatment for the Union, with the defined benefit system, but it must consider all provision funds itself (FUNPRESP) to the new servers, which is being regulated, and whose system should be a defined contribution plan.

Value of life insurance productionRecommendation to replace the compensation for occurred damages in the calculation of the adjusted production. Not relevant in the case of Brazil, who have no history of natural disasters that have a strong impact on claims paid.
