Bangkok, 19–22 April 2005

The objective of the workshop was to develop a regional forum for consultation on methodological and practical issues relating to the 1993 SNA update. This is part of a larger, world wide consultation process with developing countries on the update. In the workshop, key issues of 1993 SNA update and expert recommendations for changes were introduced and discussed with the aim of seeking comments and feedback from countries in the Asia and Pacific regions.

The list of updating issues can be found at http://unstats.un.org/unsd/nationalaccount/snarev1.asp
