CONCLUSIONS""; ""REFERENCES""The six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates (UAE)-have laid out a path to a common market by 2007 and monetary union by 2010, based on economic convergence. To monitor convergence and support economic and monetary policy, comparable economic data for member countries and data for the region as a whole will be essential. What is the most efficient way to produce these data? The authors survey the statistical institutions in the GCC countries and present the case for creating "Gulfstat"-a regional statistical agency to operate within a "Gulf States System of Statistics." Valuable lessons can be learned from regional statistical organization in Africa and the European Union-Afristat and Eurostat.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/038Monetary unionsGulf Cooperation Council countriesInternational economic integrationGulf Cooperation Council countriesExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfStatisticsimfData Transmission SystemsimfDatabasesimfStructure, Scope, and Performance of GovernmentimfGeneral Regional Economics (includes Regional Data)imfData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyimfComputer Programs: OtherimfGeneral Aggregative Models: GeneralimfFinancial Aspects of Economic IntegrationimfComputer Programs: GeneralimfMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic DataimfData AccessimfData capture & analysisimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfInternational economicsimfGovernment finance statisticsimfNational accountsimfMonetary unionsimfData collectionimfData disseminationimfEconomic and financial statisticsimfEconomic integrationimfFinanceimfNational incomeimfEconomic statisticsimfData transmission systemsimfOmanimfMonetary unionsInternational economic integrationExports and ImportsMacroeconomicsStatisticsData Transmission SystemsDatabasesStructure, Scope, and Performance of GovernmentGeneral Regional Economics (includes Regional Data)Data Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyComputer Programs: OtherGeneral Aggregative Models: GeneralFinancial Aspects of Economic IntegrationComputer Programs: GeneralMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic DataData AccessData capture & analysisEconometrics & economic statisticsInternational economicsGovernment finance statisticsNational accountsMonetary unionsData collectionData disseminationEconomic and financial statisticsEconomic integrationFinanceNational incomeEconomic statisticsData transmission systemsAl-Mansouri Abdulrahman1464145Dziobek Claudia1154652International Monetary Fund.Statistics Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910788700003321Providing official Statistics for the Common Market and Monetary Union in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries3673708UNINA
