The surveys conducted within the Project Component “Finance Statistics” under the TACIS Contract “Statistics-8” aimed to complete information base for compilation and implementation of the finance account of the system of national accounts, on the basis of which it would be possible to introduce financial account in compliance with the requirements of the System of National Accounts (SNA-93) and European System of Accounts (ESA 95). The results of the sample survey will empower the NSS RA: - to have information on balances of financial assets and liabilities of non-financial commercial organizations by economy sectors for three consecutive years, - to have information on balances (stocks) of financial assets and liabilities of non-commercial organizations by economy sectors for three consecutive years, - to complete the existing information base for compilation of the financial account of the system of national accounts, - to have information on acquiring net financial assets and accepting net financial liabilities for each economy sector by financial instruments, - to revise list of financial indicators covered by the state statistical reporting forms, - to introduce the provisional pattern of financial account of the system of national accounts in Armenia. In general, the financial account will make the system of national accounts of Armenia and the finance statistics complete and will describe the reallocation mechanism of financial assets in the republic between lending and borrowing sectors.
