Abstract
This third edition of the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey Guide has been prepared to assist economies that participate or are preparing to participate in the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS). It builds on and updates the second edition of the CPIS Guide (2002) to reflect the adoption of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, sixth edition (BPM6) as the standard framework for compiling cross-border position statistics.
Abstract
Organizing a portfolio investment survey requires informed choices by data compilers on the relative merits and demerits of a collection system. To ensure both consistency and quality of reporting across the participating economies in the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey, this chapter covers certain practical issues that go beyond those covered in the International Monetary Fund’s BPM6 Compilation Guide.
Abstract
This chapter describes the preparatory steps and provides practical advice to compilers for conducting a portfolio investment survey for the first time. The chapter covers: (i) timetable; (ii) legal and confidentiality considerations; (iii) compiling, maintaining, and using a register of respondents; (iv) choosing and developing a computer package to process the survey results; and (v) quality control.
Abstract
This chapter summarizes various economies’ experience in conducting the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS). This information could be useful particularly for economies preparing to participate in the CPIS for the first time, or for those wishing to extend or improve the scope of their present CPIS reporting. The experience of economies on the following practical issues are addressed: (i) coverage (choice of collection method and limitations in approaches to coverage), (ii) separating direct investment from portfolio investment, (iii) market price valuation, (iv) treatment of accrued interest, (v) treatment of collective investment schemes, (vi) direct holdings abroad, (vii) quality control, and (viii) steps taken to address low coverage or low response rates. In addition, given the growing importance of data collected for the CPIS encouraged categories, the experience of some countries in implementing the CPIS for these data elements is presented.
Abstract
This Guide has been prepared to assist economies that participate or are preparing to participate in the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS). For economies already participating in the CPIS, the Guide provides statistical guidelines that compilers may find useful for improving the quality of the data and for compiling additional items that were introduced in the aftermath of the 2007–2008 financial crisis. Additionally, this third edition updates the second edition of the CPIS Guide (2002) to reflect the adoption of the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6) as the standard framework for compiling cross-border position statistics and to provide compilation guidance drawing on International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff and IMF members’ experience. This chapter covers the purpose and background of the CPIS and provides an overview of how the Guide is organized.
Abstract
This chapter sets out the scope and modalities of the Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS), Securities Held as Foreign Exchange Reserves (SEFER), and Securities Held by International Organizations (SSIO).
Abstract
Although the procedures for conducting the national survey are shaped by the national compiling agency, the concepts and principles underlying the survey content should conform to the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6). From this viewpoint, practical guidance on the following key topics that are relevant for undertaking a Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS) are discussed in this chapter: (i) nomenclature, (ii) residence and institutional sector attribution, (iii) valuation, (iv) distinction between direct and portfolio investment, and (vi) treatment of securities where there is potential for double counting. In addition, an appendix discusses the institutional sectors.
There are two approaches for producing volume estimates of GDP, fixed base year and annual chaining. While most advanced economies have adopted the chain-linked approach in the past twenty years, some African countries are hesitant to do so, in part because of the computation and data requirements, and resource constraints. What difference does this make for the accuracy of the growth rates? From detailed data provided by three Sub-Saharan African countries we run simulations and conclude that the differences of GDP growth using the two approaches are small and do not behave in the consistent way found in advanced countries. We also show that weak deflation techniques and overly aggregated classifications used to derive volume measures can lead to large distortions. We conclude that improved deflation techniques and detailed classification should be addressed before adopting chain linking.
