Economic globalisation: A challenge for Official Statistics

The publication of the proceedings of the Joint EFTA/UNECE/SSCU seminar on Economic globalization is now available online. The seminar, entitled Economic Globalisation: A Challenge for Official Statistics, was organised jointly by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine (SSCU) in Kiev 3-6 July 2007.


The seminar provided national statistical offices with a forum to share ideas and discuss approaches to cope with the distortions caused by the activities of multinational enterprises on the production of statistics. The seminar addressed globalisation in the context of national accounts and the effect on gross domestic product, gross national income and other parts of the accounts. 

Presentations at the seminar were provided by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Eurostat, UNECE, Canada, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland, Ukraine and United Kingdom. This publication includes the papers that were presented at the meeting.
