This was an outreach seminar for prospective Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) subscribers in Asia and the Pacific region. The SDDS was established in 1996 to guide countries that had or sought access to international financial markets in disseminating economic and financial statistics to the public. Since that time, it has developed into a key element of the IMF’s overall effort to promote greater transparency in the international financial system. At present, there are 60 subscribing countries. The seminar covered, among other topics, the origin and evolution of the SDDS as well as day-to-day operations, including staff monitoring of observance.
