This course, presented by the Statistics Department, is intended to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the international standards for the compilation of EDS presented in the 2013 EDS: Guide for Compilers and Users (2013 EDS Guide).
This course is for those interested in learning the fundamentals of compiling international accounts - specifically compilation of external debt statistics (EDS) and/or international investment position (IIP) statistics. It is a basic-level course laying the foundations.
The course covers basic concepts, definitions, and classifications, along with the principal accounting rules (including valuation and time of recording) that are relevant for compilation of the EDS.
Finally, participants are briefed on basic concepts of the debt sustainability analysis framework.

What you'll learn
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Explain the international accounts framework of external sector statistics.
Apply the methods for the measurement of external debt from the viewpoint of the debtor and their accounting principles.
Review the presentation of EDS.
Define the debt reorganization and review the four types of debt reorganization.
Comprehend the objective of debt sustainability analysis framework as well as factors that affect economy’s debt sustainability.
