CONCLUSIONS""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThe six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates (UAE)-have laid out a path to a common market by 2007 and monetary union by 2010, based on economic convergence. To monitor convergence and support economic and monetary policy, comparable economic data for member countries and data for the region as a whole will be essential. What is the most efficient way to produce these data? The authors survey the statistical institutions in the GCC countries and present the case for creating "Gulfstat"-a regional statistical agency to operate within a "Gulf States System of Statistics." Valuable lessons can be learned from regional statistical organization in Africa and the European Union-Afristat and Eurostat. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/038 606 $aMonetary unions$zGulf Cooperation Council countries 606 $aInternational economic integration$zGulf Cooperation Council countries 606 $aComputer Programs: General$2imf 606 $aComputer Programs: Other$2imf 606 $aData Access$2imf 606 $aData capture & analysis$2imf 606 $aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology$2imf 606 $aData collection$2imf 606 $aData dissemination$2imf 606 $aData Transmission Systems$2imf 606 $aData transmission systems$2imf 606 $aDatabases$2imf 606 $aEconometrics & economic statistics$2imf 606 $aEconomic and financial statistics$2imf 606 $aEconomic integration$2imf 606 $aEconomic statistics$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aFinancial Aspects of Economic Integration$2imf 606 $aGeneral Aggregative Models: General$2imf 606 $aGeneral Regional Economics (includes Regional Data)$2imf 606 $aGovernment finance statistics$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic Data$2imf 606 $aMonetary unions$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aNational income$2imf 606 $aStatistics$2imf 606 $aStructure, Scope, and Performance of Government$2imf 607 $aOman$2imf 615 0$aMonetary unions 615 0$aInternational economic integration 615 7$aComputer Programs: General 615 7$aComputer Programs: Other 615 7$aData Access 615 7$aData capture & analysis 615 7$aData Collection and Data Estimation Methodology 615 7$aData collection 615 7$aData dissemination 615 7$aData Transmission Systems 615 7$aData transmission systems 615 7$aDatabases 615 7$aEconometrics & economic statistics 615 7$aEconomic and financial statistics 615 7$aEconomic integration 615 7$aEconomic statistics 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aFinancial Aspects of Economic Integration 615 7$aGeneral Aggregative Models: General 615 7$aGeneral Regional Economics (includes Regional Data) 615 7$aGovernment finance statistics 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic Data 615 7$aMonetary unions 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aNational income 615 7$aStatistics 615 7$aStructure, Scope, and Performance of Government 700 $aAl-Mansouri$b Abdulrahman$01816678 701 $aDziobek$b Claudia$01154652 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bStatistics Department. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968748003321 996 $aProviding official Statistics for the Common Market and Monetary Union in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries$94372965 997 $aUNINA
