For CCAMTAC member countries, CCAMTAC advisors generally focus on the following areas:
• Macroeconomic analysis: macro-frameworks, analysis, forecasting, and communications.
• Fiscal policy: public financial management, macro-fiscal issues, revenue administration.
• Monetary and financial sector: central bank operations and financial regulation and supervision.
• Macroeconomic statistics: national accounts, price, and government-finance and debt statistics.
Technical assistance (TA) is demand driven, taking into account priorities and available resources.
Real Sector Statistics: Price Statistics (July 19-23, 2021)
A remote CCAMTAC technical assistance mission assisted the National Statistics Office of Georgia (Geostat) with continuing its modernization of the consumer price index (CPI) using scanner data. The mission provided hands-on training by live coding the loading, inspection, and processing of the raw files as received from the supermarket chains. The next CCAMTAC TA will be conducted by the end of 2021.
