A. 0.2 Resources

0.2.1 Staff, facilities, computing resources, and financing (Encouraged)

[Staff, facilities, computing resources, and financing for statistical programs currently available as well as what would be required for programmed statistical outputs.]NOTE: I IS OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT BANGLADESH DOES NOT AT PRESENT, COMPILE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DEBT ACCORDING TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SDDS. EXTERNAL AND DOMESTIC DEBT DATA ARE COMPILED AND DISSEMINATED IN SEPARATE PUBLICATIONS. TOTAL CENTRAL GOVERNMENT DEBT IS NOT COMPILED QUARTERLY WITH A QUARTERLY TIMELINESS AS REQUIRED.

UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, THERE WOULD BE LITTLE POINT TO DRAFT METATDATA WHICH WOULD REFLECT THE CURRENT SITUATION, NOTABLY IF THIS SITUATION DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE SDDS. SINCE CONFORMITY FOR THIS COVERAGE, PERIODICITY AND TIMELINESS IS OBLIGATORY BEFORE BANGLADESH’S CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE SDDS, SUBJECT TO A POSSIBLE SO-CALLED FLEXIBILITY OPTION (SEE PAGE 17 OF THE SDDS GUIDE), THE METADATA THAT ARE PROPOSED BELOW REFLECT THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL NEED TO BE MET RATHER THAN THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS. THIS SHOULD GUIDE THE UNIT COMPILING THE DATA TO IDENTIFY WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO CONFORM TO THE SDDS REQUIREMENTS AND TO COMPLETE THIS METADATA PROPOSAL

PLEASE NOTE:

1. LOWER CASE TEXT IN RED IS METADATA PROPOSAL

2. UPPER CASE TEXT IN RED CONSTITUTES COMMENTS AND GUIDELINES

3. CROSSED OUT BLACK TEXT IS OLD TEXT (BUT NOT NECESSARILY INCORRECT!)

The debt data are compliled by (PLEASE PROVIDE THE NAME OF THE UNIT RESPONSIBLE) by a team of ?? persons, including ?? professionals and ?? support staff. Budgetary resources, including human, computing and other material ressources are considered adequate/insufficient (IN THE LATTER CASE PLEASE SPECIFY THE AREAS OF INSUFFICIENCIES)

IV. 2. METHODOLOGY

A. 2.1 Concepts and definitions

2.1.1 Concepts and definitions (Required)

[Degree to which the overall structure of concepts and definitions follows internationally accepted standards, guidelines, or good practices.]Data on central government debt are compiled quarterly by (PLEASE NAME THE UNIT RESPONSIBLE) and disseminated in (PLEASE NAME THE PUBLICATION FORMAT WHERE DATA ARE FIRST PUBLISHED) with a timeliness of (PLEASE INDICATED TIMELINESS).

The data comprise domestic and external debt data and total debt guarantees by the government to other government and public sector units, as well as private sector units as the case may be.

The components of the debt data are:

Domestic debt …..

External debt …..

PLEASE PROVIDE IN EACH CASE THE SUBCOMPONENTS ACTUALLY PRODUCED AND DISSEMINATED AS REQUIRED TO THE SDDS. SEE TABLE 2.1 OF THE SDDS GUIDE.

The definions and concepts used for the production of the central govenment debt data meet international requirements notably those of (PLEASE PROVIDE THE NAME OF THE REFERENCE METHODOLOGY, FOR EXAMPLE THE IMF GOVERNMENT FINANCE STATISTICS MANUAL 2001/2014X/ AND PUBLIC SECTOR DEBT STATISTICS GUIDE. IF NO SPECIFIC METHODOLOGY IS FOLLOWED TRY TO IDENTIFY THE METHODOLOGY TO WHICH THE METHODOLOGY CORRESPONDS CLOSEST AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, IDENTIFY THE MOST IMPORTANT DEPARTUREs FROM THE CURRENT INTERnATIONALLY ACCEPTED REFERENCE METHODOLOGY.

NOTE; CROSSED OUT INFORMATION SIMPLY IDENTFIES OLD METADATA. IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY IMPLIES THAT THESE METADATA ARE INCORRECT.

The debt data of the Central Government of Bangladesh are compiled by different agencies; the external debt data are compiled by the Economic Relations Division (ERD) of the Ministry of Finance, while the domestic debt data are compiled by the Bangladesh Bank and the National Savings

Directorate. No consolidated data on total central government debt (external plus domestic) are produced or disseminated.

B. 2.2 Scope

2.2.1 Scope (Required)

2.2.1.1 Scope of the data

[Scope of the data.]

The annual external debt data of the Government of Bangladesh include debt incurred on behalf of the non-financial public enterprises such as the Railways, the Post Office, and various autonomous bodies. For domestic debt, the data cover debt of the government and of the Railways, the Post Office, and the Tamp;T.

Detailed data on the outstanding external debt of central government, which cover the direct liabilities of the central government including borrowing on behalf of all non-financial public enterprises, are disseminated. These data contain detailed break-downs of debts specifying each element of debt by lender, currency, loan agreement, and type of interest paid (concessionary and non-concessionary loans). Information on both original and residual maturity can be derived from the detailed information about each debt provided in the ERD’s publication, "Flow of External Resources into Bangladesh" published annually.

External Debt:

The ERD reports annual data on central government external debt in its publication "Flow of External Resources" with a lag of approximately 1 year. The data are published in great detail in a number of tables. These include:

Debt by Donor at end of fiscal year, showing the following data by individual countries (grouped into OECD countries, OPEC countries, multilateral agencies, other donors, and suppliers credits): loan currency, disbursement, repayment, amount outstanding in loan currency at the beginning and the end of the fiscal year, US$ exchange rate, and amount outstanding in millions of US dollars.

Debt Outstanding by Currency: Loans in foreign currencies and in U.S. dollars.

Time series data for each fiscal year since independence (1971/72), showing in millions of US$ Disbursements, Principal Repayments, Interest Payments, and Amount Outstanding at year end.

Detailed information on every loan incurred since independence; Details of Donors including Agreement Date, Loan Amount in US $, Amount Disbursed in US$, Amount Repaid in US$, Grace Period, Interest or Service Charge, and Repayment Period.

Commitment, Disbursement, and Repayment of Suppliers’ Credits.

Commitment, Disbursement, and Repayment of PL-480 (USA) Operations.

Assumed Debt Liabilities: Details of debt incurred by the pre-independence government for completed and on-going projects.

Summary of Hard-Term Loans Outstanding.

Donor-wise Details of Hard-Term Borrowing: Detail information on the interest rate and percentage of down payment.

The tables provide sufficient details to enable debt maturity to be calculated, both by original maturity and by residual maturity.

Monthly summary data on external debt outstanding are produced by the ERD with a lag of approximately 6 months for internal use by selected government agencies only (Ministry of Finance, Controller-General of Accounts, Ministry of Planning, Bangladesh Bank, Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics).

In addition, Finance Accounts of the government also publishes annual data on external debt.

Domestic Debt

Annual data on domestic debt are included in Finance Accounts with a lag of approximately 1 year. Provisional monthly data on outstanding debt are produced with a time lag of approximately 1 month by Bangladesh Bank for the internal use of the Ministry of Finance and the Bank only. These reports provide information by type of debt instrument, transactions during the month, cumulative data for borrowing, repayments, and net movement since the beginning of the fiscal year, opening and closing balances, and cumulative interest for the fiscal year. Data on the non-bank part of domestic debt are compiled and published by the National Savings Directorate which include detail break-down of debts in terms of type of the instruments, interest rate, maturity of the instruments, etc.

In addition, actual data on both domestic and external debt are also disseminated annually through the Finance Accounts compiled and published by the Comptroller and Auditor General with a lag of approximately one year after the end of the fiscal year.
