The course is targeted at
trade in services statisticians who are directly involved in the collection
and/or compilation of trade in services statistics, in particular in Africa, and
who already possess a good knowledge of internationally-agreed standards in
trade in services statistics, such as the IMF Balance of Payments Manual
(BPM6), and the Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services
(MSITS2010).
Individual sessions,
which will also include case studies and numerical exercises, will be dedicated
to service sectors of trade interest in particular to Africa. To this extent, selected
participants will be invited to submit concrete examples of difficulties faced
in data collection, and to discuss possible solutions with experts from
national statistical offices/Central Banks and/or international organizations.
Participants are expected
to be actively involved at the course to share their challenges, discuss
solutions, and expand their knowledge and skills.
