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.

Club de Paris
The Paris Club is an informal group of official creditors whose role is to find coordinated and sustainable solutions to the payment difficulties experienced by debtor countries. As debtor countries undertake reforms to stabilize and restore their macroeconomic and financial situation, Paris Club creditors provide an appropriate debt treatment. Paris Club creditors provide debt treatments to debtor countries in the form of rescheduling, which is debt relief by postponement or, in the case of concessional rescheduling, reduction in debt service obligations during a defined period (flow treatment) or as of a set date (stock treatment). The origin of the Paris Club dates back to 1956 when Argentina agreed to meet its public creditors in Paris. Since then, the Paris Club has reached 423 agreements with 88 different debtor countries . Since 1956, the debt treated in the framework of Paris Club agreements amounts to $ 556 billion.
In 2011, members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the OECD provided USD 133.5 billion of net official development assistance (ODA), representing 0.31 per cent of their combined gross national income (GNI). This was a -2.7 % drop in real terms compared to 2010, the year it reached its peak. This decrease reflects fiscal constraints in several DAC countries which have affected their ODA budgets. Within total net ODA, aid for core bilateral projects and programmes (i.e. excluding debt relief grants and humanitarian aid) fell by -4.5% in real terms. Bilateral aid to sub-Saharan Africa was USD 28.0 billion, representing a fall of -0.9% in real terms compared to 2010.

Although the main task is the conduct of the euro area monetary policy for the euro area, ECB statistics are also provided to the European Systemic Risk Board for the macro-prudential oversight of the financial system. more ECB statistics are available free of charge and can be downloaded via the Statistical Data Warehouse . The statistical activities of the ESCB are based on the ECB’s medium-term work programme and follow the agreed Public commitment on European Statistics by the ESCB .
The software is extremely useful and user-friendly. I believe that any person coming to the debt office can use it as it is a very comprehensive system that records every aspect of the loan cycle.
