III-1/Source of submitted data : National accounts has the preference. Only surveys as source?
III-2-1/Double counting issues • Consolidated-Non consolidated data • RE 1: Consolidated data for summary tables Non-consolidated data for country tables • Delegates may if they wish comment on this recommendation.
III-2-2/Double counting issues • Crossed investments • Stocks of assets assigned to owner and not to manager. • RE 2: distinction between owned assets and managed ones to process or give an estimate. • Would a share of managed assets be available? • Countries not following the SNA principle are encouraged to give their opinion.
III-2-3/Double counting issues • Geographical coverage//cross border • RE 3: follow SNA 93 concepts, i.e. the All domestically resident concept: should be the rule • Any comments from Delegates? • Would EU countries be able to report data on a domestically resident basis for Insurance companies?
III-3/Reinsurance • Reinsurance companies are not institutional investors: they invest on their own behalf but not on behalf of retail inv. • RE 4: next SNA would give preference for separate data for insurance and reinsurance companies. it is proposed to add a third category in insurance companies : reinsurance companies • Comments are most welcome
III-4/Juridical status vs. investment behavior • RE 5:The SNA93 definitions as reference criterion if SNA93 not enough defined, the juridical status should have the preference. • Other : In case an investor legally registered demonstrates a behaviour close to another category of investors, it is proposed to show it in the category “other type of institutional investors”. • Any Comments?
