United Kingdom-Anguilla-British Overseas Territory: Technical Assistance Report-Modernization of the Customs Legislative Framework
International Monetary Fund. Western Hemisphere Dept.
This technical assistance (TA) report on Anguilla focuses on modernization of the customs legislative framework. The mission prepared a framework for a customs Act in line with the recommendations made in the Caribbean Regional Technical Assistance Center (CARTAC) TA Assignment Report of April 2022. A major challenge for the customs administration will be growing the capacity to be able to deliver all that has been added into the Act. The full automation of customs procedures and implementation of risk management principles may also be a challenge. However, automation is the foundation of any customs modernization program. It is the key to move to a more efficient and informed administration of customs controls. The mission prepared a synoptic table highlighted by color codes to summarize the required, recommended and suggested additions to the Customs Act. The Synoptic Table list the general principles of the main provisions highlighted green in the draft Customs Act. These are listed in three categories, red, being principles that are required to be implemented; yellow, being principles that are recommended to be implemented and, green being those principles that are suggested to be implemented.

Providing official Statistics for the Common Market and Monetary Union in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries: A Case for "Gulfstat"
Abdulrahman K Al-Mansouri and Ms. Claudia H Dziobek
The six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates (UAE)-have laid out a path to a common market by 2007 and monetary union by 2010, based on economic convergence. To monitor convergence and support economic and monetary policy, comparable economic data for member countries and data for the region as a whole will be essential. What is the most efficient way to produce these data? The authors survey the statistical institutions in the GCC countries and present the case for creating "Gulfstat"-a regional statistical agency to operate within a "Gulf States System of Statistics." Valuable lessons can be learned from regional statistical organization in Africa and the European Union-Afristat and Eurostat.
