Task Force on Finance Statistics (TFFS)
The Task Force on Finance Statistics (TFFS) sets methodological standards for statistics on external debt, and on public sector debt , both external and domestic; promotes data availability on financial stocks, particularly external debt and public sector debt ; encourages internationally accepted statistical practices to enhance data quality; and fosters inter-agency collaboration in statistical capacity building. The TFFS was created in 1992 under the auspices of the United Nations Statistical Commission to take stock of the activities of the international organizations involved in finance statistics and to make recommendations aimed at streamlining their work, in particular to avoid duplication of activities. In the wake of the financial crises of the mid-1990’s, its mandate was broadened in 1998, to coordinate work to improve the methodological soundness, transparency, timeliness, and availability of data on external debt and international reserves.

The sixth Flash Eurobarometer on the social impact of the crisis reveals that a significant number of Europeans (80%) think poverty has increased in their own country over the past 12 months. In all but four countries, in comparison with the previous October 2010 wave, more respondents feel that their financial situation has worsened in the past year and only 14% of EU citizens think their household's financial situation will improve in the next year. Difficulties with the affordability of services such as health care, childcare and long-term care are perceived as a problem by more than one third of Europeans. Feelings of job security and optimism about the present and future economic developments are highest in Northern-European countries.
