FFeeww wwoorrddss aabboouutt tthhee WWoorrkksshhoopp During the recent past, the Statistical System of Pakistan has significantly evolved in response to

the increasing demand for quality statistics to manage and monitor economic developments in

the country. The statistical organizations have made good progress in adopting international

standards and dissemination practices to improve the understanding and availability of statistics

required for planning, research and decision making at various levels. However, much remains to

be done in establishing a high degree of coordination among the data compiling organizations

and users of the statistics.

The user feedback on the relevance of the statistics produced by the statistical agencies is

essential for developing a coherent statistical system. The quality of data produced by various

statistical organizations can be improved through feedback from users by holding seminars,

workshops and mutual coordination. It is very important for the data users to know the

methodology of compiling and computing data and its limitations before attempting to analyze it.

At the same time, it is also necessary for the data compilers to collect and present the data in a

comprehensive manner. Many misperceptions about the data are removed and credibility of the

compiling agencies improves with proper understanding and rapport between the users and

producers of data.

As a first step in this direction, the Statistics Department of State Bank of Pakistan organized two

2-days workshops on "collaboration among data compilers and users" to improve coordination

among data compilers and users. The main objective of conducting these workshops was to

enhance collaboration among all statistical organizations, to make efforts for effective and

efficient production and usage of the statistics, and to create harmony in the needs and

availability of statistics.

The first workshop was successfully held on May 08-09, 2006 at Learning Resource Centre of

the State Bank of Pakistan, Karachi. The 2nd 2-days users-producers workshop was held at

National Institute of Banking & Finance (NIBAF), State Bank of Pakistan, Sector H-8/1, Pitras

Bukhari Road, Islamabad on July 25-26, 2006. The workshop was attended by the speakers

from Federal Bureau of Statistics, Banks, Provincial Bureaus, Export Promotion Bureau,

Newspapers’ Economic Reporters, media, Planning & Development, Economic Affairs Division,

Population Census Organization, Central Board of Revenue, National Institute of Population

Studies, Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan, Ministry of Food Agriculture and

Livestock, Ministry of Finance, State Bank of Pakistan, World Bank, International Monetary

Fund, academicians, and researchers.

In addition to the inaugural, introductory and concluding sessions, the workshop comprised of

four technical sessions on external, socio-demographic, real, financial and miscellaneous sectors.

Plenary sessions encompassing these sectors were arranged for collective discussions, feedback

and suggestions for further improvements in the statistics relevant to sector based on experiences

of the participants.

The honourable Deputy Governor, State Bank of Pakistan inaugurated the workshop. Mr. K. K.

Suri Executive Director, Export Promotion Bureau and Dr. Naushin Mahmood Additional

Director, Pakistan Institute of Development Economics chaired the technical sessions on external

and socio-demographic sectors on the 1st day of workshop. Dr. N. M. Larik Ex–Director

General, Federal Bureau of Statistics and Dr. Faqir Muhammad Chairman Department of

Economics, Allama Iqbal Open University chaired technical sessions on real & financial sector

and miscellaneous sectors on the 2nd day of the workshop.

The proceedings provide valuable and updated information on statistics compiled by agencies as

was delivered by the presenters/speakers in the workshop. We hope that this document would be

useful for analysts, researchers and policy makers using official statistics in providing them the

information on methodology, coverage and dissemination practices of the compilers and will

help them to identify gaps in the statistical system of the country.

We acknowledge with thanks the efforts of all those involved in organizing this workshop. Our

special thanks go to the members of steering committee, presenters, the chair persons of the

technical sessions and the closing sessions. We are also indebted to Dr. Ishrat Hussain, Ex-

Governor for his patronage and encouragement for initiating this project, continuous guidance of

Economic Adviser, and the patronage and personal interests of the Deputy Governors and

Governor State Bank of Pakistan.

Director, Statistics Department invited Mr. Kazi Abdul Muktadir, MD – NIBAF to welcome the

participants of the workshop.

WWeellccoommee AAddddrreessss bbyy MMDD –– NNIIBBAAFF Honourable Deputy Governor, Mr. Mansur-ur-Rehman Khan, distinguished guests, Ladies and

gentlemen,

At the outset, I thank Mr. Mansur-ur-Rehman Khan for sparing his valuable time to inaugurate

the “Workshop on Collaboration among Data Compilers & Users”. The patronage of Governor

and Deputy Governors of SBP, for arranging this workshop is a reflection of their vision,

involvement and support for the development of a sound, efficient and effective statistical

system of Pakistan.

Ladies and Gentlemen: I am also thankful to you all for sparing your precious time to attend this

workshop.

Initiating the Project “Collaboration among the data producers and users” Statistics Department

of SBP aims at developing a highly interactive environment among analysts, decision makers

and the information providers from all over the country leading to produce high-quality and

meaningful statistics coping with the needs of the users at national as well as at international

level.

With the purpose of achieving this goal, we conducted a similar workshop at Karachi during

May 2006. The workshop was attended by a large number of researchers and representatives

from various field of life and useful suggestions were provided for improvements in the

statistical system of Pakistan. I am sure that implementation of these recommendations will lead

towards significant improvements in the existing system. The involvement of the statistical

organizations and the users of data in the relevant areas play a pivotal role in establishing a

sound ground for accomplishment of the sublime mission. The improvement in the quality of

statistical product largely depends upon the adoption of modern technologies, innovation in the

field, transparency in the processes of collection, compilation and dissemination, and most

importantly, the users’ feedback on effectiveness of the data. Through the workshop, we are

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Co l laborat ion among Data Co mpi l er s & Users

trying to provide a forum for interaction and communication between the two parties for the

achievement of the common goal.

I am thankful to the representatives and coordinators of all organizations for their participation

and involvement in the process of conducting this workshop. We hope to get benefits from the

presence of the organizational Coordinators, technical committees and the presenters for success

of the workshop.

During the plenary session of the workshop in the areas of External, Real, Fiscal, Financial,

Socio-demographic Data and Other sectors, useful recommendations are expected for improving

grey areas and identifying gaps in data requirements and availability in each sector. The Steering

Committees will also devise strategies for filling the gaps, improvements in the methodologies,

eliminate duplications and provide proposals for implementation based on workshops’

recommendations. These recommendations will be communicated to the relevant organizations

for implementation through the nominated coordinators. It is hoped that the workshop will

enhance interaction among users and producers of statistics and will lead towards improvements

in the quality of data through input by the participants.

In the end, I would like to thank you again and hope your active participation in this workshop

will be rewarding and enjoyable... Thanks

Now I would like to invite the chief guest, Mr. Mansur-ur-Rehman, the Deputy Governor of

SBP. With his deep insight and in depth understanding, he now holds as a senior central banker

in Pakistan. Besides his involvement in managing affairs of the central bank, he supervises and

controls the management and development of information system in the State Bank. Very

humbly, I would now request Mr. Mansur-ur-Rehman to inaugurate the workshop and deliver his

inaugural speech.

I feel pleasure to be among you to inaugurate the workshop on “Collaboration among Data

Compilers & Users”. This is the second workshop, which the Statistics Department of State

Bank has organized to enhance interaction among data compiling organizations and data users.

The first workshop conducted at Karachi on May 08–09, 2006, received useful feedback from

the participants of the workshop for further improving the quality of the statistical data.

Today’s workshop is another step ahead towards a sound, effective and efficient statistical

system in the country. The workshop will strengthen interactions between statisticians, policy

makers, analysts and researchers. It will improve relevance and quality of statistics produced by

various statistical organizations, thus increasing the level of satisfaction and confidence amongst

the users. The workshop would also help the participants in enhancing their understanding on

the compilation methodologies, identifying gaps in need and availability of statistics through

mutual discussions and interaction. The quality of statistics is assured in the context of being “fit

for use” and the extent to which information serve the purpose for which it is produced. The

users’ feedback in this workshop will assist the data compilers for setting their priorities in future

and pave the way towards a coherent statistical system. I would therefore, expect the workshop

to bring together information on key statistical activities currently undertaken by the statistical

organizations and to identify what more can be done to further improve the quality and timely

availability of statistics.

Statistics produced and financed by the government not only serve the need of government for

efficient administration and management but also for long-term policy formulation. It must also

serve the need of the public to monitor the activities of government and the change in public well

being. The statistical organizations are therefore, required to pay ample attention to the

dissemination of statistical outputs, make it easier to access, and use by the public. Adequate

feedback from users of statistical products would give appropriate signals to the managers of

statistical agencies for investment in new activities.

In today’s age of information technology, the statistical information has gained enormous

importance for effective decision-making process. Timely, accurate, reliable and result oriented

decisions whether taken at an individual level or at an organization or country level are highly

dependent on the quality, reliability and timely availability of the statistical data. Therefore, we

need to adopt best practices in all dimensions of data quality including legal framework,

automation in processes, relevance, accuracy, timeliness, comparability and accessibility.

There has been a strong temptation for statistical agencies to undertake new data gathering

activities to satisfy the government machinery and the international organisations for monitoring

their programmes. This sometimes leads to duplication of work among these agencies. Besides

the data compiled often varies significantly which not only create doubts in mind of users but

also involve time consuming and costly reconciliation process. An open dialogue among all

organizations with a strong sense of partnership, sharing of needs and users’ feedback would be

effective in addressing these issues. Better coordination among data producers and users needed

to sustain a well-harmonized, nationally agreed set of data, which is up-to-date and easily

accessible. The National Statistical Council, as a governing body can significantly contribute to

inter-agency coordination.

The ever-increasing innovations in various sectors of the economy, rapid growth of knowledge

base and the rapid changes in the social, demographic and economic scenarios led to a strong

demand for innovation, creation and sophistication in methodologies used for compilation of

statistical data. At the same time users’ feedback is very important in adding value to the

statistical products and in helping the data compiling agencies to evolve in the face of the

changing scenarios. Notwithstanding their individual role, a high degree of cooperation and

coordination is also required among statistical agencies for creation of a coherent statistical

system, efficient use of the available databases and development of a system harmonized with

the international standards of quality and dissemination.

I hope that this workshop will educate the data users on the methodologies used in data

collection and processing and will improve confidence among the public about official statistics.

It will prove to be a milestone in increasing interaction amongst the data compilers and users.

The event will increase awareness of the importance of good statistics and will lead towards

enhanced cooperation and building trust on the statistics generated by the statistical

organizations.

In the end, I would like to congratulate the Statistics Department for taking the initiative in

organizing this workshop and I am confident that this interaction would result in generating

efficient and effective statistics.

I sincerely thank you for allowing me to share my thoughts and wish you all a fruitful and

enjoyable workshop.

SSeessssiioonn SSuummmmaarryy Dr. Azizullah Khattak, Director, Statistics Department started the technical session with a

detailed presentation on the functions of Statistics Department, State Bank of Pakistan. The

objective of this session was to give an introduction of Statistics Department and to highlight the

business process of the department. The annual business plan of the regular operational

functions of the department and the developmental projects initiated during the recent past to

improve its existing compilation methodologies in line with the international practices as well as

to adopt new developments in the era were put across in the presentation. The important statistics

compiled and disseminated under the operational plan on daily, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly,

and annua basis was presented in detail.

Dr. Khattak said, the department has initiated a number of developmental projects to improve the

quality of data being compiled as well as to meet the international standards. Today’s workshop

is also a part of one the developmental projects to enhance Collaboration among Data Compilers

and Users. The 1st two-days users-producers workshop on Collaboration among Data Compilers

& Users was successfully held at Learning Resource Centre, State Bank of Pakistan, on May 08-

09, 2006 at Karachi. It was attended by a large number of users from various sectors of economy

and useful feedback received for further improving the quality and scope of the statistics

presently compiled. He hoped that these workshops will enhance interaction among users and

producers of statistics and will lead towards improvements in the quality of data through input by

the participants.

At the end of his presentation, he explained Workshop’s program and objectives of various

sessions of the workshop. The participants of the workshop were divided into five groups

according to five data categories for the plenary sessions and their specific relevance to a

particular area. He emphasized on the importance of the plenary session and requested the

participants to actively participate in this session and provide their candid feedback on the

shortcomings in scope, coverage, methodologies of the statistics to be presented by the data

compiling organisations. The user’s feedback would be very important for the data compiling

agencies to further enhance scope, coverage and quality of data to be produce in future. This

feedback will be used in preparing the final recommendations of the workshop and will be

conveyed to relevant organisations for implementation. Steering Committees of organisational

Coordinators from each data compiling agency will monitor progress and report the status of

reference period. Data collection procedures from all sources will also discussed in details.

Mr. Ghulam Rabbani, Assistant Director, Accounts Department, SBP gave a detailed

presentation on Data Template on International Reserves and Foreign Currency Liquidity. He

started his presentation by explaining the background and importance for developing a data

template and its scope and coverage. He then discussed the New Data Template Framework that

captures several dimensions of country’s international reserve & related currency obligations.

The template includes information on the liquidity of country’s international reserves,

identifying encumbered assets, and its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, he further

explained.

Mr. Shamsul Arifeen, Junior Joint Director, Statistics Department, SBP presented the conceptual

framework of International Investment Position (IIP), its compilation methodologies and

dissemination process and practices. He discussed in detail the concepts and definition of

International Investment Position. Explaining further he said that since information on

components of IIP are compiled by more than one agency, a strong coordination is therefore

important among all the stakeholders. Moreover data on the subsets of the IIP need to be

consistent with each other. At the end of his presentation he discussed the classification of IIP its

links with BOP and sources of the required data. It was informed that with the compilation of

IIP, the SBP has fulfilled all the requirements for SDDS of IMF. The data on IIP is disseminated

on SBP website as well as in the Annual report of SBP.

Mr. Khalid Siddiqui, Director, FBS gave a detailed presentation on foreign trade statistics of

Pakistan. He informed that Foreign Trade Statistics is essential for planning of economic

development, framing trade policies, conducting trade negotiations, making bilateral, regional

and international arrangements for promotion of trade. He explained the historical background of

foreign trade statistics and methodologies used for it compilation. He clarified that FBS records

the data on the basis of movement of goods into or from Pakistan’s Custom boundary.

Explaining further he said that imports statistics includes all merchandise coming from foreign

countries into Pakistan through lawful channels under private and government accounts via sea,

air, land routes, parcel post released by the customs either directly or form the bonds. The goods

imported and deposited into bonds are not taken into account. Goods exported and returned to

Pakistan by the importing countries without any modification or change in the original form or

shape are considered re-imported and excluded from imports. At the end of his presentation, he

also gave details for dissemination of trade data in different national and international

publication.

Malik Muhammad Afaq, Assistant Chief, Economic Affairs Division gave presentation on

external debt statistics. At the outset, he discussed the dissemination and uses of external debt

statistics. He explained in detail the classification of external debt by creditors and debtors, types

of loan and modes of disbursements. He also discussed in details the problems of data collection,

and application of DMFAS, the external debt monitoring system. The dissemination practices of

external debt data were all discussed.

At the end of the presentations, the participants were invited for questions on classification,

comments on methodologies of the statistics presented in the sessions.

Mr. K. K. Suri, Senior Economists and Consultant, Export Promotion Bureau concluded the

session with his remarks on the importance of statistics on external sector and various issues

presently faced by the external sector data. He suggested that data on export and import of

services should be compiled by SBP for a more clear picture of country’s exports and imports as

shown in the BOP account. He also suggested HS Code System needs further expansion for

enhancing its coverage up to 10 digits (which is currently up to 8 digits).

Components of BOP „ Data Sources ? „ System of compilation. „ Dissemination

Legal Framework of Pakistan’s

Balance Of Payment Under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act 1947, the State Bank is monitoring and regulating Foreign Exchange policies including collection, processing and dissemination of all external sector data like reserves, trade statistics, balance of payments, workers’ remittances, foreign direct and portfolio investment, debt servicing, etc.

Slide 5 Slide 6

What is BOP ?

Balance of payments is a statistical statement designed to provide for a specific period of time, a systematic record of an economy’s transactions with the rest of the world.

An “economy” is comprised of economic entities (residents) that have closer association with that specific economy than with any other. Economic entities that have closer association with other economies are nonresidents.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF

BOP „ BOP primary registers transactions

between residents and non-residents. „ BOP deals with flows. „ BOP uses double entry accounting system. „ BOP adopts the principal of accrual

accounting (time of recording). „ BOP are normally expressed in domestic

currency or in stable unit of account.

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Col laborat ion among Data Compi lers & Users

Slide 7 Slide 8

Principles and Concepts

„ Double-entry System The basic convention of a BOP statement is the DOUBLE ENTRY ACCOUNTING SYSTEM in which every transaction is represented by two entries of equal values. If for example an exporter receives foreign

Cont….

currency in payment for goods, a credit entry would be recorded in the BOP accounts for export of goods and offsetting debit entry would be recorded for exports increase in foreign currency bank balance. In BOP these entries would be recorded as:

Credit Debit

Merchandise 100 .. Foreign Currency Assets .. 100

Slide 9 Slide 10

„Why is it important ?

The balance of payments statistics are used for a number of reasons within a country and worldwide. The most frequent users are:

Domestic Economic Policy

Government authorities are constant users of balance of payments and other statistics in carrying out their responsibilities of monitoring economic activity, formulating recommendations an appropriate balance of payments and domestic economic policies and evaluating various economic strategies.

„Why is it important ? International Uses Regional balance of payments statistics are used both by the Pakistan’s authorities and by the authorities of partner countries to monitor developments in economic relations between Pakistan and those countries or specific country grouping. Pakistan’s balance of payments is used by academic and business observers as well as by policy maker around the world in monitoring developments in the worldwide payments position and in comparative studies of trends in the balance of payments of various countries. BOP data is also used by international bodies such as IMF, World Bank and other external stakeholders etc.

Slide 11 Slide 12

Data Template on International Reserves and Foreign Currency Liquidity

Presented By:

Ghulam Rabbani Assistant Director

Financial Accounts Division, Accounts Department, SBP, Karachi

Background ƒ International Financial crisis in the late 1990s ƒ Country experiences highlighted the importance of

accessing foreign exchange liquidity from a broader perspective

ƒ IMF and the working group of the Bank for

International Settlements (BIS) Committee on the Global Financial System, jointly developed in 1999 the new data template

ƒ On March 1999, the template was made a component

of the Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) established by the IMF in 1996

Slide 3 Slide 4

Data Deficiencies Revealed by Financial Crisis in the 1990s:

• Some countries include pledged assets in reserve

assets

• foreign currency deposits held in financially weak

domestic banks

• Valuation practices could depart significantly from

market values

• Coverage of international reserve assets varied

among countries

Lack of Publicly Available Information on Official Short-term Foreign Currency

Obligations: • off-balance sheet activities • data on forward commitments of foreign

exchange under financial derivative contracts • information on options • information on principal and interest payments in

foreign currency on loans and advances • Information on government foreign exchange

guarantees and callable debt. • unused conditional lines of credit

Slide 5 Slide 6

The New Data Template Framework

• The new data template captures several dimensions of country’s international reserve and related currency obligations and addresses the inadequacies described before

• Takes account of the off-balance sheet activities • Takes note of the future schedule and potential

flows of contracts involving financial derivatives such as options, forwards and futures as well as un-drawn credit lines and loan guarantees

• The template includes information on the liquidity of country’s international reserves, identifying encumbered assets, and on its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations

Forestalling Future Crisis • strengthen the accountability of the authorities on

policy action and foreign currency exposure • correction of unsustainable policies and limit the

adverse effects of contagion in times of financial turbulence

• It allows market participants to form a more accurate view of the condition of individual countries

• Access to more transparent data may also enhance the effectiveness of the multilateral organizations.

Slide 7 Slide 8

Overview of the Data Template The Scope

• Reserve Assets:

“External Assets that are readily available to and controlled by monetary authorities for direct financing of payments imbalances, for indirectly regulating the magnitude of such imbalances through intervention in exchange markets to affect the currency exchange rate, and /or for other purposes.” (BPM5 para. 424)

Foreign Currency Liquidity • “Amount of foreign exchange resources that is

readily available taking into account both predetermined and contingent/potential net drains.”

• Broader concepts of reserves foreign Currency liquidity includes: A-Foreign Currency Resources: ¾ Official Reserves ¾ Other Foreign Currency Assets B-Predetermined and contingent net drains on foreign currency resources.

Slide 11 Slide 12

Key Features of the Template

A) Institutions Covered:

• Monetary Authorities - It is a functional concept - Hold and manage international reserves - Encompass the central bank and certain central

banking operations carried out by government institutions or commercial banks.

• Central government (excluding social

security fund): - The political authority of the central government

extends over the entire territory of the country. - State and local governments and social security

funds at all levels are excluded.

B) Financial Activities covered: • Only instruments settled in foreign currency are to

be included in resources and drains. As these can directly add to or subtract from the liquid foreign currency resources.

• Instruments denominated in or linked to foreign

currency but settled in domestic currency will not directly affect liquid foreign exchange, but can exert substantial indirect pressure

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Col laborat ion among Data Compi lers & Users

31

Slide 13 Slide 14

C) Treatment of financial derivative activities:

• The template covers: ¾ Predetermined foreign currency flows pertaining to the authorities’ forwards, futures, and swap contracts ¾ Potential flows arising from options positions ¾ Net, marked to market value of outstanding financial derivative contracts

• The template focuses financial derivatives settled in foreign currencies. (NDF and options settled in domestic currency are reported as memo items.

• Separate information is to be reported for short and long positions.

• Stress testing is to be included to assess risk exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates.

D) Valuations Principals: • Positions are to be valued at market prices on the

reference date or at approximate market values. • Drains on foreign currency resources are to be

valued at nominal terms. (i.e cash flow value when the currency flows are to take place.)

• For financial derivatives: ¾ Inflows and outflows in nominal terms for forwards, futures, and swaps ¾ Notional values for options ¾ Net, marked to market values for outstanding financial derivative contracts.

Slide 15 Slide 16

E) Time Horizon:

• As the focus is on liquidity, the time horizon is short-term, up to one year. Further time horizon is proposed for assessing liquidity positions ¾ up to one month ¾ More than one month and up to three months ¾ More than three months and up to one year

• Residual maturity is used to determine the time

horizon.

Other Reporting and Dissemination

Considerations : • Currency:

Currency same as used to disseminate data on official reserves.

• Reference Date: End date of reporting period. (Usually month end) ¾ Positions are the outstanding stocks. ¾ Flows are anticipated amount within the reference period. ¾ Transaction dates are used for determining time of recording.

• Sign Conventions: ¾ Plus (+) for assets and inflows ¾ Minus (-) for liabilities and outflows ¾ Items not applicable are left blank

Slide 17 Slide 18

Other Reporting and Dissemination Considerations

• Country Notes to Disclose Information:

¾ Country-specific exchange rate arrangements ¾ Specific reserve management policies ¾ Accounting Practices ¾ Statistical treatment of some financial transactions

• SBP data template is disseminated on its website

http://www.sbp.org.pk/ecodata/liquidity.pdf

• Monthly frequency of dissemination

• More details on data template standards at IMF: http://www.imf.org/external/np/sta/ir/index.htm

liabilities at a particular point. This stock is the result of past external transactions measured according to current market values (current

market prices and exchange rates) and other factors (for example, write-offs or

reclassifications) at a specific point. ”

Presentation on Foreign Trade Statistics

of

Pakistan

By

KHALID SIDDIQUI Director

Federal Bureau of Statistics Government of Pakistan

I- INTRODUCTION:

No country in today’s world can afford to remain in isolation. Countries have to import commodities from abroad which are either not produced in the country or are in short supply and also those which accrue some other benefits from their imports, commodities which are in surplus in the country are exported. Even if there are no surpluses, exports have to be made to pay off for the imports, which are essential for economic development of the country. Owing to competition, a country can obtain optimum advantage from its buying and selling in the world only through having adequate knowledge of trade data. Foreign Trade Statistics are also indispensable for planning of economic development, framing commercial policies, conducting trade negotiations, making bilateral, regional and international arrangements for promotion of trade.

Slide 3 Slide 4

II- HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: III- METHODOLOGY

Foreign Trade Statistics of Pakistan is being compiled regularly since 1947. Initially from 1947 to 1950 the ‘Department of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics’ of the Ministry of Commerce undertook the work of recording the trade statistics. The work of trade statistics compilation was taken over by Federal Bureau of Statistics (then Central Statistics Office) in September, 1950. In the beginning it continued to compile few series on trade statistics manually on the basis of weekly/monthly returns of imports and exports supplied by the land, sea and air customs. With the passage of time, improvements in the system of recording of trade statistics have been made gradually. A scheme for codification of trade information was introduced in early, 1952 and trade data were processed in the ‘Bureau of British tabulation unit’ and later strengthened on new IMB system in 1954, It further developed by installation of IBM Computer 260-30 by establishing a ‘Data Processing Centre’ in FBS in the 1969 and trade statistics was processed from July, 1970. The trade statistics is now being processed on Compaq Alpha Server DS20E System by ‘Data Processing Centre’ to meet the growing requirements of different users of trade statistics.

Pakistan is using methodology/guidelines contained in the U.N.Statistics Division (UNSD) manual for compilation of “International Trade Statistics, concepts and definitions in ESCAP region” which was finalized in January, 1983. Changes made by the UNSD have been taken into consideration from time to time and amendments are made in the compilation of Pakistan Foreign Trade Statistics, accordingly hence, FBS figures are recorded at the time of movement of goods into or from Pakistan’s Custom boundary.

Slide 5 Slide 6

IV- COVERAGE

a) Basic source of information: b) Harmonized Coding of Trade Data:

1 Bills of entry in case of imports and shipping bills in case of exports, which

have been modified/revised and named as “Goods Declaration” (GD) were the basic documents used in compilation of foreign trade statistics. The importers/exporters or their agents have to submit to the customs authorities ‘Goods Declaration’ (GD) for each consignment of imports or exports made by them along with copies of invoices for necessary clearance. One copy of each of these documents is being collected by the staff of FBS from each and every sea, air and land custom stations/points in the country except from Karachi Port, from where the FBS is getting G.Ds data from ‘CARE’ in computer readable form. G.Ds pertaining to IMPORT are controlled by cash number (Fresh Serial No. starts from 1st of each month) and in EXPORT by machine number (Fresh Serial No. starts from the day, when the National Budget is announced).

2. From July, 1989 to June, 2002, ‘Pakistan Statistical Trade

Classification Revision-3 (PSTC-R-3)’ was being used for compilation and dissemination of external trade statistics. In pursuance of the recommendation of United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD) for adoption of “Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System” (HS) for compilation and dissemination of external trade statistics, the F.B.S started compilation of trade statistics through customs records on “Harmonized System” (HS) from July,2002.

3. The formation of ‘Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding

System’ (HS) and Pakistan Standard Trade Classification Revision-3 (PSTC R-3) are as under:

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Col laborat ion among Data Compi lers & Users

40

Slide 7 Slide 8

a) HS CODING SYSTEM HS Code at 2-digit level i.e. 01-97 represents “Chapters”.

Example:

Chapter 08 ‘Edible fruits & Nuts; (Peels of Citrus fruits and melons)

HS Code at 4-digit level represents “Heading Numbers”.

Example:

0804 – Dates, figs, pineapples & guavas. (Mangoes & mangoes teens fresh or dried)

HS Code at 6-digit level represents “Sub-Heading Numbers”.

Example: 0804.10 - Dates

HS Code at 8-digit level represents “National Sub-Heading Numbers”.

Example:

0804.1010 – Dates fresh

0804.1020 – Dates Dried

b) PSTC-R-3 Coding System PSTC-R-3 Code at 1 digit level 0-9 represents “Sections” Example:

Section 4 – Animal & Vegetable oils, fats & waxes. i) PSTC-R-3 Code at 2 digit level represents “Division Code Example:

Division 41 – Animal oil and fats. ii) PSTC-R-3 Code at 3 digit level represents “Group Code” Example:

411 - Animal oil and fats. = Group Code iii) PSTC-R-3 Code at 4 digit level represents “Sub-Group Code” Example:

4111 – fats and oils and their fractions of fish or marine mammals, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified = Sub Group Code. PSTC-R-3 Code at 5 digit level represents “Item Code” Example:

41111 – fish liver oil and their fractions = Item Code iv)PSTC-R-3 Code at 7 digit level represents “Sub-Item Code” Example:

4111101 – Cod liver oil = Sub Item Code. Slide 9 Slide 10

c) COMPILATION CRITERIA/COVERAGE:

4. Complete coverage is of utmost importance in compilation of foreign trade

statistics. Imports Statistics, include all merchandise coming from foreign countries into Pakistan through lawful channels under private and government accounts via sea, air land routes and by parcel post released by the customs either directly or form the bonds. Goods imported and deposited into bonds are not taken into account. Supplies and bunker fuels to ships are included in exports according to the colour of the ships. Imported goods subsequently re-exported to foreign countries without further modification are excluded from export statistics, lists are tabulated separately. Goods exported and returned to Pakistan by the importing countries without any modification or change in the original form or shape are considered re-imported and excluded from imports but tabulated separately.

d) EXPORTS/IMPORTS:

5. The following transactions of exports & imports are excluded from foreign trade statistics while compilation:

i) Articles of baggage and personal effects of passengers.

ii) Afghanistan Trade in transit through Pakistan

iii) Imports into bonds.

iv) Sale of imported goods in Duty Free Shops in Pakistan.

v) Defence Stores (If commercial value is declared on GD then the value will be included)

vi) Gold and Silver coins or Bullion and Currency Notes.

vii) Relief goods of no commercial value

Slide 11 Slide 12

e). PROCESSING OF TRADE DATA

6. Getting the G.Ds from all the customs collectorates, all over Pakistan. Transcribing them on transcription sheets and Capturing the data from these sheets. Producing the error listing and after fixing the error in the data, preparing the following reports from error free data.

i) Country by commodity. ii) Commodity by country

iii) By area and region (Direction of Trade) iv) By Economic Categories. v) By commodity group.

vi) Export by land and air. vii) Major items of imports & exports in terms of Rupees, and US

Dollars.

f) BASIS OF VALUATION:

IMPORTS: Imports are compiled on the basis of cost, insurance and freight (C.I.F) and import duty not included.

EXPORTS: Exports are compiled on the basis of free on board (F.O.B) and freight & insurance not included.

g) FOREIGN TRADE INDICES:

Foreign trade indices are being computed from the very beginning. Such indices were first computed with 1954-55 base. However, changes have been taking place from time to time in the composition and direction of trade, the base year of these indices have subsequently been changed to 1960-61, 1969-70, 1975-76 and 1980-81. As per decision of National Accounts Committee that the base of all economic indicators be shifted from 1980-81 to 1990-91, because of changes that took place during intervening period, accordingly new series of trade indices of quantum and unit values of exports, imports and terms of trade 1990-91 as base, are being computed since July,1991 on quarterly/annually basis.

Slide 13 Slide 14

h) COMPUTATION OF INDICES: Lspeyer’s formula is used in the computation of these indices which is as under:-

i) Unit Value Index

Σ Pn Qo IV= Χ 100

Σ Po Qo ii. Quantum Index

Σ Qn Po

IQ= Χ 100 Σ Qo Po

Where IV Stands for Index of Unit Values. IQ Stands for Quantity Index. Po Stands for Unit Value of each item in the base year. Pn Stands for Unit Value of each item in the current year. Qo Stands for Quantity data of each item in the base year. Qn Stands for Quantity of each item in the current year.

I) TERMS OF TRADE

1. The formula used in calculating the index of terms of trade as under:- Index of unit values of exports X 100 Index of unit values of imports

Example:- Terms of Trade calculation for the year 2004-2005 Index of unit values of exports X 100

Index of unit values of imports 288.84 ---------- X 100 = 73.60 392.45

J) RELEASE OF FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS: Getting the totals figures of Imports & Export for each month from C.B.R and prepare the Summary on External Trade comprising of Import, Export and Balance of Trade for the Ministry of Commerce. An Advance monthly Release on foreign trade statistics giving quantity and value details of selected 34 items of exports and imports of the month alongwith data for the previous and corresponding months, cumulative since July and brief analysis of the trade performance is being prepared for the government functionaries and other agencies.

POPULATION CENSUS

Population Census is the primary source of information on population size and its characteristics. The data collected through population census serves as bench mark for all types of socio-economic development planning and evaluation and provide basis for all administrative activities, demographic research and various projections of population characteristics.

Census taking is a universal practice and is undertaken in almost all countries of the world. Through population census a vast amount of data on all basic demographic and socio-economic variables is collected about each person living within country/territory. The main advantage of population census is the large amount of data it produces at one point of time and the availability of data at the lowest level.

z DEFINITION

Population census is total process of collecting, compiling, evaluating, analyzing and publishing / disseminating demographic, social and economic data of all persons in a country or a well defined territory, at a specified time.

Slide 3 Slide 4• CHARACTERISTICS OF CENSUS

i) Largeness to cover entire area / population I) AREA COVERED

SCOPE OF CENSUS

ii) Accuracy and reliability of information

iii) Time oriented activities

z ESSENTIAL FEATURES

i) INDIVIDUAL ENUMERATION-Implies that each individual is enumerated and his/her characteristics recorded separately

ii) UNIVERSALITY WITHIN A DEFINED TERRITORY-Census should cover the

entire country or well defined territory and include every person living therein

iii) SIMULTANEITY-Data collected should refer to the same well defined

reference period – generally the census day with specific time

iv) DEFINED PERIODICITY-Census should be taken at regular intervals so that comparable information is made available in a fixed sequence. A series of censuses makes it possible to appraise the past, describe the present and estimate the future

- Entire Area Of Pakistan including Tribal Areas (F A T A & P A T A) - AJK & Northern Areas covered on behalf of M/o Kashmir and Northern Affairs

II) POPULATION COVERED

- All persons living in above areas enumerated on de-jure and de-facto basis - Afghan refugees and special population groups living in camps / pockets

excluded - Foreign national living in Pakistan covered except diplomatic personnel

and their families - Seasonal migrants covered at place of residence on census date - Pakistanis living abroad not counted.

CENSUS HISTORY IMPORTANCE OF CENSUS

(SOCIO-ECONOMIC

1. First regular census in the areas now comprising Pakistan was held in 1881.

2. Since then regular censuses have been conducted after every ten years in the year ending at one.

3. After independence five censuses have been undertaken in 1951, 1961, 1972, 1981 and 1998.

4. Fifth census due in 1991 could not be conducted as scheduled due to some administrative / political reasons but was undertaken in March, 1998.

¾ Provide bench mark data for all socio-economic development plans / policies and their evaluation

¾ Provide basis for all administrative activities, demographic

research and projection of population to meet future requirements.

¾ Provide population data for smallest Admn. Units / areas. ¾ Establish sampling frame for intercensal sample surveys on

various topics and others statistical programs ¾ Provide changing patterns of urban / rural concentrations and

development of urbanized areas.

Slide 9 Slide 10 IMPORTANCE OF CENSUS

(LEGAL / CONSTITUTIONAL) SELECTION OF TOPICS

¾ Census also meets legal and political requirement:

- Provides basis for political representation to the National Assembly under article 51 (3) of the constitution.

- Population base used for distribution of funds to the federating units by the National Finance Commission formed under article 160 (2) of the constitution.

- Determines quota for recruitment to all civil posts in Federal Government.

¾ Mainly depends upon needs of data users

(planners, administrators and researchers)

¾ Continuity of census information – Traditional topics

¾ Quality of data collected in previous census

¾ Availability of qualified and dedicated field staff

¾ Ability of respondents in answering complex questions

¾ Availability of resources in term of money, men and technical capabilities

¾ International practice and UN / ESCAP recommendation

Slide 11 Slide 12 CENSUS METHODOLOGY PLANNING PROCESS

Methodology refers to methods employed for collecting data, different phases involved, use of sampling, etc.

¾ Canvasser method: information for each individual and living quarter

collected and recorded by enumerator through interaction with the respondent – generally used in illiterate population.

¾ In householder methods, the responsibility for recording information

on head / person in the housing unit however, questionnaire or usually distributed, collected and checked by census officials.

¾ Dejure verses defecto count: dejure count in all previous censuses

except 1981. Next census on dejure as well as defecto basis to provide counter check of total count.

¾ Use of sampling in enumeration to collect additional information.

SSeessssiioonn SSuummmmaarryy The purpose of this session was to brief the participants on the scope, coverage, compilation

methodologies of the data on real sector for their view and suggestions for possible improvement

in statistics related to Real Sector. Presentations on National Accounts, Production index, Labour

Force Statistics and Price Statistics were given senior officials of the concerned divisions of

Federal Bureau of Statistics.

Mr. Arif Mehmood Cheema, Deputy Director General made a detailed presentation on National

Accounts compiled under system of National Accounts (SNA) by the Federal Bureau of

Statistics. The purpose and framework of Pakistan national accounts were discussed in the

presentation. FBS uses a combination of three approaches (production approach, income /cost

approach, and expenditure approach) to estimate National Accounts on annual basis. The GDP

deflator estimated under National Accounts can be used as a measure of inflation in the

economy. The estimation of Gross value added of agriculture sector, FBS is uses information on

twelve major crops and thirty seven minor crops, coverage of major crops will be enhanced in

future to cover eighteen major crops. For the Manufacturing Sector, the quantum index of

manufacturing takes about 400 industries as benchmark. Value added of other sectors were

explained in details. The presentation also distinguished the poor response from the stakeholders

for providing timely information.

Mr. Rana Ishaq, Director – Industries of FBS gave a comprehensive presentation on compilation

procedures of Industrial Statistics. After making an introduction of CMI he discussed its

objectives, scope and coverage of the statistics. The CMI is conducted through a CMI properly

designed and tested before census is conducted. Regarding Quantum Index of Large Scale

Manufacturing Industries (QIM), Mr. Rana said QIM is the indicator of real growth rate of value

added of Large Scale Manufacturing Industries. Elaborating further he pointed out estimates of

Small Scales Industries (SSI) are developed through surveys which are done after every ten

years. He also briefed about the Survey of Small Scale & Household Manufacturing Industries

(SHMI) which covers all un-registered household units & small enterprises engaged in

manufacturing activities having less than 10 employees. At the end, he described the limitations

and plans for improvement.

Mr. Mazhar Hussain Hashmi, DDG of FBS made a detailed presentation on Labour Force

Survey. Giving details he said Labour Force Survey has been carried out since 1963, on annual

basis. LFS is household inquiry based on stratified two-stage sample design and sample is

equally distributed through four quarters of the survey year in order to take care of seasonality.

Mr. Hashmi said the general objective of the survey is to provide an overview of labour force

general characteristics e.g. data on age, sex, marital status etc. He discussed in detail the

concepts and definitions used.

Mr. Abdul Azeem Sahito, Director – Prices of FBS presented collection and compilation

procedures of Price Statistics. After making an introduction to Consumer Price Index (CPI),

Sensitive Price Index (SPI) and Wholesale Price Index (WPI), he discussed the objectives of the

price statistics. Elaborating further, he said CPI measures Inflation rate in the country, whereas,

SPI is computed to assess the price movement of essential commodities at short interval of time

to review the price situation in the country. However, WPI measures the General Price level in

the whole sale market. Mr. Sahito explained that before changing the base year, FBS conducts a

series of meeting among members and finalise the coverage, cities related to CPI, SPI and WPI.

At the end of his presentation, he said, base year of CPI, WPI & SPI will be change from 2000-

2001 to 2006-2007. Also rural areas will be covered in CPI where rent will be computed on

survey basis. Previously, the base year was changed after every ten years but now it will be

changed after five years. He said initially SPI was computed for poor income groups but now it

will be computed on the basis of all income groups. FBS is planning to compute separate CPI for

small cities based on the items they consumed.

The chairperson of the session on real sector, Dr. Noor Muhammad Larik, Ex-DG of FBS said in

his concluding remarks that official statistician and academician differ significantly. Official

statisticians are unaware of the developments in methodologies and academicians are unaware of

the problems in official statistics. This created a gap between official statistician and academia.

He said that cooperation among these two groups is the demand of the time. He suggested that

the variation in indices is not being worked out and that is the job of Academia. Forecasting area

is not taken care off and either in universities and nor in government agencies that lacks in the

statistical organisations. He emphasized the need of developing an institute within the

government to coordinate both academicians as well as professional statisticians to work

together and conduct some more research. At the end he concluded that the workshop is very

important and had provided opportunity to discuss about statistics and its importance.

DIRECTOR PRICE STATISTICS SECTION

FEDERAL BUREAU OF STATISTICS, KARACHI

Slide 3 Slide 4

PRICE STATISTICS

• PRICE STATISTICS INCLUDES

COLLECTION OF RETAIL AND WHOLE SALE PRICES AND COMPUTATION OF FOLLOWING INDICES:-

• 1. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (C.P.I) • 2. WHOLESALE PRICE INDEX (W.P.I) • 3. SENSITIVE PRICE INDICATOR (S.P.I)

INTRODUCTION • CPI measures changes in the cost of buying a

representative fixed basket of goods and services and is generally accepted as a measure of inflation in the country”.

• SPI measures the price changes of essential items at short intervals of time (Weekly basis). It is being used to review price situation in country.

• WPI measures the change of prices in the primary wholesale market. It measures general price level and and shows direction of prices.

Slide 5 Slide 6

Objectives • CPI measures Inflation rate in the country

• SPI is computed to assess the price movement of essential commodities at short interval of time to review the price situation in the country.

• WPI measures the General Price level in the whole sale market.

Selection of Markets/Outlets and Cities

„Markets are selected through retail and wholesale trade survey.

„Outlets are selected on transaction value basis

„Cities are selected on population basis

„Stratified sampling are used for selection of cities

Commodity Groups Wise Items and Weights C.P.I (2000-01)

Weights for CPI • Commodity Group Weights Items

• The results of Family Budget Survey provide the average percentage expenditure(Consumption pattern) of Households on each item/each commodity group and for each income group for the cities covered in CPI. These average percentage expenditures on item and commodity groups are called weights and are being used in computation of the CPI.

Example: 1. Total Expenditure: Rs. 3000, 2. Expenditure on Wheat Flour:- Rs. 100 3. % of Expenditure on Wheat flour = (100/3000)*100 = 3.33

Presentation on FBS – July 2006

Slide 3 Slide 4

LABOUR FORCE SURVEY Introduction

• The Federal Bureau of Statistics has been

conducting Labour Force Survey (LFS) since 1963 on annual basis .

• The last annual survey was held for 2003-04. • Quarterly LFS initiated in 2005-06 to provide

employment and unemployment rates at the National level.

• A “Panel on Labour Statistics” comprised of all stakeholders reviews LFS questionnaire/ methodology in line with international standards.

LABOUR FORCE SURVEY Improvements • The Survey’s questionnaire was revised in 1990 to add

questions on a set of activities to augment participation rates particularly of females.

• The questionnaire was further improved in 1995 to reckon with the size and composition of migration and informal sectors.

• The scope of the survey was extended in 2001-02 to include the questions on the type, causes, consequences and redressing the incidences pertaining to occupational hazards, safety and health.

• The questionnaire was further articulated in 2005 for the current LFS 2005-06.

Slide 5 Slide 6 LABOUR FORCE SURVEY

General Objectives

The survey aims to provide data on (a) age, sex, marital status, literacy, level of education

and migration of the population, (b) dimensions of country’s labour force, such as

(i) employed labour force classified by industry, formal & informal sectors, employment status hours worked, (ii) occupational safety and health information of the employed persons and (iii) characteristics of the unemployed labour i.e. age sex and level of education and pervious experience.

LABOUR FORCE SURVEY

Limitations

ƒ CMI data is collected by Provincial Directorates of

Industries through mail enquiry resulting in poor response and longer time in retrieval of schedules

ƒ Manpower, Transport &Computing equipment constraints being

faced by Provincial Bureaus and Directorates of Industries

ƒ Frame of the manufacturing establishments, developed by Provincial Directorates of Labour, need improvement

Plan for Improvement Need to develop a business register, which should:

™ be continuously updated ™ cover all private & public economic activities ™ classify the economic activities ™ comprise some main economic quantities like No. of

Employees, Capacity, Annual Sales, etc

Crucial point will be the provision & updation of addresses and other relevant data by public & private sector establishments on regular basis

SSeessssiioonn SSuummmmaarryy The purpose of this session was to review the scope, coverage, compilation methodologies of the

statistics produced by the Provincial Bureaus and Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan.

Mr. Ali. Rehman, Director, Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) gave a

presentation on the statistics compiled by SECP. Mr. Shamim Rafique, Deputy Director of

Punjab Bureau of Statistics (PBS) gave a presentation on the statistics compiled by Provincial

Bureaus of Statistics.

After the introduction of SECP, Mr. Ali Rehman explained that SECP compiles data of over

48,000 companies registered with SECP. Mr. Ali explained about the characteristics and utility

of Corporate Registration and Ensures Compliance (CRCS), which is the largest database of

companies at the SECP. He said stakeholders of SECP data are mostly from government

organizations, ministries, researchers, private companies, individuals, and students.

Mr. Shamim made detailed presentation on the various statistics compiled by PBS. At the outset,

he discussed the historical background of the bureaus. He then detailed the activities currently

undertaken by the provincial bureaus. He said Provincial Bureaus of Statistics are both data users

as well as data producers. Provinces also conduct CMI on adhoc basis under the Industrial

Statistics Act 1942, census of education institutions in Punjab. The data are released by

provincial bureaus through their regular and adhoc publications. At the end, he gave details

about the publications/reports of the PBS.

Concluding the session, Dr. Faqir Muhammad, Chairman Mathematics & Statistics Department

of Allama Iqbal Open University said that the quality of data could be improved by means of

random checks and by doing pre-analysis and post-analysis. He emphasized on close

coordination between the Federal Bureau of Statistics and Provincial Bureaus of Statistics

because the functions and responsibilities taken by all the Provincial Bureaus of Statistics are

more or less the same but the compilation methodologies of the statistics of the same area may

vary significantly. At the end he suggested all the Provincial Bureaus of Statistics to work under

the umbrella / framework of FBS to avoid duplication.

PPlleennaarryy GGrroouupp RReeccoommmmeennddaattiioonnss’’

SSeessssiioonn SSuummmmaarryy During this session, all participants of the workshop were distributed in five groups according to

the areas of their interest to review the scope, coverage, compilation methodologies of the data

presented in the workshop and to prepare recommendations for further improving the quality and

scope of data and to enhance coordination among data compilers and users. Dr. Khattak

emphasized on the importance of the users’ feedback / recommendations, which will be used for

improving both the quality of statistics and interaction among the data compiling agencies, users

and data providers. These recommendations / suggestions would also help for improvement in

the overall statistical system of the country.

Mr. Bernd Struck, Advisor to FBS suggested that FBS should constitute District Price Control

Committees for collection of price data for CPI. Mr. Struck pointed out that many countries

prepare regional GDP estimates but it is not advisable for Pakistan at this stage to compile

Regional / Provincial GDP. He rather recommended to start compiling GDP on quarterly basis.

The quarterly figures should however match with the annual figures and there should be

harmonisation between these accounts. This should be reconciled using the same methods, same

concepts and so on. Mr. Struck suggested quarterly accounts after rebasing or revision of the

national accounts.

RReeccoommmmeennddaattiioonnss ffoorr EExxtteerrnnaall SSeeccttoorr 1. Export data under the head of “others”, where a large number of products are clubbed

together, to be disaggregated at the HS 10 digit level with commodity descriptions so that

a huge amount shown into the ‘other classification’ can be extended into individual

classification. Further, for making HS adjustments in Pakistan, CBR may be asked to

involve all stakeholders like FBS, SBP and EPB to extend or merge the codes because all

stakeholders using same classification developed by CBR.

2. To improve the quality of data on Workers Remittances, differentiation should be

distinguished clearly between worker’s remittances and compensation of employees.

3. The SECP shall provide information on companies having foreign participation and keep

an updated record of them to help facilitate compilation of FDI, FPI and Other

Investments.

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Co l laborat ion among Data Co mpi l er s & Users

84

4. For compiling Pakistan’s International Investment Position, the breakdown of public and

publicly guaranteed loans as per following classification is required:

Opening Stock (FCY)

Equivalent US $

Inflows Outflows(FCY)

Other Changes

Closing Stock (FCY)

EquivalentUS $

a. Government

b. Banks

c. Others (private sector)

5. Since BOP is compiled on monthly basis therefore, FBS may be asked to supply the Land

Borne Trade data on monthly basis by 15th of the following month.

6. After fully implementation of DMFAS (latest version 3.2), the time lag of data on

quarterly disbursement of foreign economic assistance should reduce. EAD may be asked

to expedite the implementation of DMFAS.

7. The SECP shall produce data on internationally accepted standards, like sector

classification of ISIC standards.

8. Establish independent authority for production of better statistics, mostly it relates to the

autonomy of FBS so that responsibility may be balanced with equal authority.

9. Counter checking of data compilation to be assured before its dissemination to the users

mainly relating to the data compiled by two or more agencies like exports data compiled

by FBS & SBP.

10. Computerization of private sector debt data and better coordination between EAD, SBP,

MOF and other aid utilizing agencies as this area needs much attention due to

vulnerability.

11. Such types of workshops should organise at least once in a year, to keep update both the

data compilers and users with the recent developments/changes made in the scope,

coverage, methodologies of data compiled.

12. The custom’s stations / points may be sued to provide goods declaration forms by the 10

of the following month.

RReeccoommmmeennddaattiioonnss ffoorr FFiinnaanncciiaall && FFiissccaall SSeeccttoorr 1. Data should be posted on the websites with time series and with regular frequency so that

researchers could use the updated data in their analysis.

2. Weighted average rate of lending and deposits should be segregated currency wise as it

would help to look at separate effect.

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Co l laborat ion among Data Co mpi l er s & Users

85

3. Basic secondary market data such as secondary market T-bills rates, KIBOR, Forward

rates along with time series should be posted in user-friendly format on website, to make

it available for the users.

4. Explanatory notes to the Data Tables be provided to enhance the utility and

understanding of the data to the users as they are uncomfortable without notes.

5. Micro level data dealing with data on various sectors relating to financing / disbursement

against particular crops be collected and made available, since it is very helpful in

determining the macro environment for credit requirements.

6. Search engines of various organizations do not provide for the needs of the data miners

(visitors). It would facilitate the users to search related data.

7. Wholesale market prices for crops like seed cotton (phutty) and sugarcane should also be

provided so that the difference between the support price and the market (mill gate)

become significant.

8. Harmonized classification with ISIC economic activity classification should be used for

the sectors classification of the registered companies with SECP, to make useful in

integrating data compilations.

RReeccoommmmeennddaattiioonnss ffoorr SSoocciioo--ddeemmooggrraapphhiicc SSeeccttoorr The group has deliberated on the presentations made on Social and Demographic Sector. We

make the following recommendations based on our group discussion:

1. Surveys conducted by NIPS should not confine only to Mortality and Fertility but cover

issues like migration, environmental that closely relate to health and population.

2. The peculiar indicators and variables pertaining to education is another important factor

that must be considered while designing different surveys on social & demographic

issues

3. Producers should consult each other in order to avoid duplication e.g., FBS, NIPS

both collect information on fertility & mortality which confuses the researchers with

different results.

4. NADRA should just give the figures and it should not release literacy rate etc because it

is not a data producing authority and it had issued cards less than 70%. NADRA is

performing the job of registering the people, which may not cater to the needs of

researchers.

5. Panel data should be released because for researchers it could produce more meaningful

results to suggest future policies regarding these social & demographic issues.

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Co l laborat ion among Data Co mpi l er s & Users

86

6. Keeping in view the importance of PIHS / HIES being important sources of

information, the presentations on these surveys should be given to users.

7. The definitions adopted by the Labour Force Survey (LFS) being conducted by

FBS and Population and Housing Census, respectively, are different in reference to their

concept / methodology therefore giving the different labour force participation rate i.e.,

Employment/Unemployment rates. Therefore it was observed and agreed that one

definition of labour force may be used in the labour force survey and Population &

Housing Census.

8. The definition of labour is not aligned with the international accepted standards. In

Pakistan, 15 years age is considered as labour whereas internationally accepted age for

labour is 18 years and above.

RReeccoommmmeennddaattiioonnss oonn RReeaall SSeeccttoorr 1. FBS is preparing quarterly GDP estimates. The quarterly figures should match with the

annual figures, there should be some harmonisation between national accounts and

quarterly accounts and they should be reconciled using the same methods and concepts. It

is recommended to come up with quarterly accounts not before the next rebasing or

revision of national accounts.

2. The crops estimates are received from crops reporting services and there is a need to

review its compilation methodologies. In the next workshop, Crops Reporting

Directorates of Provinces may arrange a presentation. This would enlighten in detail

about the primary data collection of crops.

3. Agriculture Credit Disbursement Data should be provided by SBP on quarterly basis and

District wise so that credit disparities should be highlighted/addressed.

4. The format of quarterly reports of the companies registered with SECP should be

designed in a way that caters the requirements of National Accounts. This would help

FBS to prepare the National Accounts data and reduce the cost and time involved.

5. Quality of data especially from the manufacturing establishment is very poor. Therefore,

the provincial / local governments should legally bind / force the establishments to

provide the data adequately and timely.

6. For adequate data of manufacturing, the provincial departments of labour should ask to

make a presentation on Census of Manufacturing Industries.

7. It is observed that the Federal / Provincial Bureaus of Statistics are not adequately

manned. Therefore, these organizations must be strengthened adequately.

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Co l laborat ion among Data Co mpi l er s & Users

87

8. FBS should be representative of the District Price Control Committees to share the

information. Currently, there is not any District Price Control Committees in Pakistan.

RReeccoommmmeennddaattiioonnss oonn MMiisscceellllaanneeoouuss SSeeccttoorr 11)) DDaattaa CCoommppiilleerr SSiiddee

1. There is a need of standardization of terminology, tools and techniques used in the

compilation of data. There should be a strong coordination among the data compilers to

avoid duplication of data thus producing more reliable and quality data.

2. Timely dissemination of data to the potential users.

3. The design of the survey should base on modern sampling techniques.

4. There is an ample need for compilation of qualitative data to arrive at sensitive indicators.

5. Due to the rapid changes locally and internationally, the statistical act 1975 needs to be

review and updating.

22)) DDaattaa UUsseerr SSiiddee

1. Appropriate interaction between the compilers and users is required.

2. There is need of proper feedback from data users to the data compilers.

3. The data users and researchers must understand the fundamental purpose and objectives

based on which data collected.

4. Data users want consistency in data (while making time series analysis) which must be

ensured.

33)) WWoorrkksshhoopp SSiiddee

1. Some case studies should take up during workshop so that the real analytical problems in

the data could be identified.

2. Participation of all the stakeholders should be ensured.

3. The existing time-period for this kind of good initiative was not sufficient.

4. To enhance the interest of the potential participants, competitive remuneration should be

granted as it happens in other energetic organizations.

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Co l laborat ion among Data Co mpi l er s & Users

88

CCoommmmeennttss ooff tthhee PPaarrttiicciippaannttss 1. The basis of formula used in the publications should be given with sufficient

explanations.

2. It was a good effort to organise such type of workshop as it gave us other aspects of

statistical data. The workshop should be organised on regular basis, to give an

opportunity to different organisations to interact each other. These workshops may be

organised at all provincial capital cities to give opportunities for stakeholders of these

cities.

3. Data should be collected from all segments of population including rural population.

4. The functions of Provincial Bureaus of Statistics should be formulated to work under the

umbrella of Federal Bureau of Statistics. The coordination between the Provincial

Bureaus of Statistics and Federal Bureau Statistics should be enhanced and if there are

certain functions, which are overlapping, then they should merge. Further to improve the

quality and comprehension of data, the FBS and other data providing agencies should

also discuss the methodologies used to prepare the results/estimates so that the user may

use the results in the same context. Further, it has been seen that the guides provided with

the questionnaires for collection of data by various data collecting agencies (like FBS)

are usually not clear or these are restricted to certain examples. These guidelines should

be clear so that the source may provide accurate data.

5. Data on social sector may be included. Several other variables, which are the better

indicators of development such as health, environmental and other socio-economic

conditions, should be included.

6. Data on financial sector as well as other sectors of economy should be made available at

micro level. In recent years, regulatory reforms in various sectors have developed the

interests of both policymakers and academia to analyse the impact of these measures on

the performance of the firms. For example, data on utilities sector is not available for the

analysis of these entities’ performance to subset the future measures to enhance the

performance of these individual firms on incentive basis etc.

7. The main benefits of such workshops are that the participants get chance to share their

ideas among all the participants and as well as the interaction of different departments

working on data and the data collection agencies.

8. There is a need to review the methodology of data collection and compilation. Classical

methods should be replaced by advance methods. Capacity building programs should be

arranged for data compilers.

2nd Users -Producers Workshop on Co l laborat ion among Data Co mpi l er s & Users

89

9. Socio-demographic data like population, provision of facilities to the people, provision of

drinkable water, food, cloths etc should be collected properly. Besides population census

data relating to other social sectors like health, environment, diseases, availability of

facilities to the public should also be collected and all the facilities should be provided.

10. The workshop provided a forum to collaborate data compilers & users in order to make

recommendations for achieving the prime objectives of quality statistics. It was an

excellent endeavour of SBP, which must continue.

11. IT and other new techniques should be used in collection, compilation, analysis and

dissemination of data in all sectors of the economy.

12. We should make our data compatible to that of international level (e.g. in terms of time

horizon) so that cross-country comparisons could be made.

13. Statistics on corruption, environmental activities, salaried class and real estate should be

included.

14. Data regarding all aspects are collected from cities and not from villages. Therefore, the

data collected in this way is not true and just a formality. This does not solve the purpose.

15. The participation of Data Users should increase to have maximum feedback in this

context. Private sector, government organisations and donors should also be invited at the

large scale. This type of workshop should be arranged every year.

16. Pakistan Statistical Year book 2005 covered data of 2004 – 2005. We as a researcher are

concerned with most updated data on current economic situation and this made it very

difficult to get data.

17. Frequent surveys for the services sector and more area coverage will make national

accounts more comprehensive.

18. CPI, WPI and SPI should cover most of the sectors and more income group extending

surveys to rural areas. As rural areas always are ignored for data collection etc.

CClloossiinngg//CCoonncclluuddiinngg RReemmaarrkkss bbyy MMrr.. SSttrruucckk,, FFBBSS Mr. Bernd Struck, German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ), Advisor to the Federal

Bureau of Statistics, chaired the closing session of the workshop. In his concluding remarks, he

referred to the Deputy State Bank Governor who in his introductory speech had encouraged the

participants of the workshop to get into cooperation with each other. Mr. Struck took the

conclusion that nobody disagrees that it was a good idea to hold this workshop as there is a lot of

statistics and even more data than the users expect. The various presentations may have fostered

transparency and mutual exchange of ideas.

Mr. Struck emphasized that providing statistics means to be in a production chain which does not

only involve SBP, the statistical offices and the users of statistics but the respondents, also. The

civil society of Pakistan and especially the enterprises should be aware of the fact that good

governance needs a profound data base for targeting and for decision taking and that respondents

have to provide their data for that purpose. The media should assist these efforts.

Mr. Struck also referred to Dr. Larik who earlier the day had demanded that we have to close the

gap between statistical science and statistical practice and that cooperation is the demand of time.

This would include applying harmonized classification throughout Pakistan’s set-up of official

and semi-official statistics. This would also mean that the specialist undertake all efforts to use a

language that the users understand. Official statistics have to give satisfactory meta data, viz data

about the data, and to give hints where the data can be found. The internet would be a very useful

tool for providing all this information.

Mr. Struck gave his comment to demands of regional Accounts. He urgently pleaded for

conducting regional Accounts and calculating regional GDP in a harmonized way using uniform

concepts agreed between and applied by all provinces. In ideal case there would be a working

group including the FBS to outline the concepts and to share the workload of a joint calculation

of provincial GDPs.

At the end, he thanked to those who have organised this workshop. He said many thanks to Dr.

Khattak & his team from Sate Bank for organising the seminar. He thanked to those who made

the presentations.

NNoottee ooff TThhaannkkss bbyy DDiirreeccttoorr SSttaattiissttiiccss Mr. Kazi Abdul Muktadir, MD – INBAF, Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.

First of all I would like to congratulate State Bank of Pakistan for successfully conducting this

workshop and providing this wonderful opportunity for the policy makers, planners,

professionals, researchers and generalists to benefit from the results and methodologies of data

compiling agencies. This workshop in particular has provided a forum where views were

exchanged and valuable feedback was provided to SBP/data compiling agencies to further

improve the quality and usefulness of the data.

This workshop has also provided better understanding regarding the activities and availability of

data by the data compiling agencies to the users and I hope that in future they will have a better

understanding of the data for their benefit. Data compilers should also reorient strategies and

expand the scope & coverage of their statistics in a way to make it more useful for the users.

The presentations were made on Balance of Payments, International Reserves and Foreign

Currency Liquidity, International Investment Position, Foreign Trade, External Debt, Population

Statistics, Analytical Accounts of the Banking Sector, Analytical Accounts of the Central Bank,

National Accounts, Production Index, Labour Market Employment, Labour Market

Wages/Earnings, Labour Market Unemployment, Price Index Consumer Prices, Price Index

Producer Prices, and by SECP, Bureaus of Statistics. Due to active participation of the

participants, the SBP has obtained very useful feedback. So this workshop has achieved its

objectives as per expectations.

The recommendations for further improvements in the statistics of each sector made during this

workshop by the Plenary Sessions have been very well taken and will be used by the SBP/data

compiling agencies for its future plan. I also hope that SBP will continue to conduct this type of

workshops to disseminate about their activities and provide an opportunity to the users/data

compiling agencies of their data to benefit from it and this ultimately provide feedback to SBP as

regular activity.

With this I would like to thank all the distinguished guests, presenters, learned Chairpersons and

participants, who are here with us for the whole day and have contributed to this workshop. I

thank you again.
