Workshop for the use of a tool for balancing the supply and use tables (SUT)
At the last Annual Seminar on National Accounts of Latin America and the Caribbean 2021 organized by ECLAC, a tool was presented to balance supply and use tables (SUT), as a statistical development to support national accounts processes. This presentation aroused great interest in the seminar participants, and as a result of the commitments made on that occasion, this Workshop has been held to use a tool to balance the supply and use tables (COU).
The invitation was addressed mainly to officials from the region's National Statistical Offices, from the national accounts area, and in particular to those in charge of preparing tables of origin and destination and / or input-output matrices.
This workshop was organized over 2 days with identical sessions: December 1 for Latin American participants and December 2 for Caribbean participants.
