Summary
This volume contains a selection of papers presented at three expert group meetings sponsored by the Fund in 1987-88 for the revision of the SNA. These meetings dealt with issues in the balance of payments, government finance, and monetary statistics and were part of a sequence of expert group meetings organised by the interested international organizations to oversee the revision process. The papers place the Fund's statistical methodlogies in the context of revision of the SNA and explain the contribution that the Fund has made, and can make, to the process of hamonization.
