The project aimed to assist participating economies in implementing the 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA) through the compilation of supply and use tables (SUTs). Aptly known as the SUT Project, it utilized the supply and use framework which is an integrated model that allows compilation of more reliable, consistent, and internationally comparable estimates of gross domestic product (GDP). The improved GDP estimates are expected to provide a better basis for measuring economic output and growth; informed policy making; and monitoring progress toward the Millennium Development Goals, relating especially to poverty alleviation. Eighteen ADB developing member countries participated in the RETA. They are: Bangladesh; Bhutan; Brunei Darussalam; Cambodia; the People’s Republic of China; Fiji; Hong Kong, China; India; Indonesia; Malaysia; the Maldives; Mongolia; Nepal; Singapore; Sri Lanka; Taipei,China; Thailand; and Viet Nam. This publication presents the SUT concepts, practices, implementation strategies adopted, and the results of the SUT Project. It also includes the 28 products and 23 industries SUTs of the 18 participating economies, an abridged version of the SUTs, and an analysis of the economic structures based on the SUTs. Significant developments were achieved by the SUT Project. First, the project enabled the 18 participating economies to compile their SUTs leading to an improved 1993 SNA conceptual compliance, which sets the cornerstone toward adoption of the 2008 SNA recommendations. With the technical knowledge gained in the SUT compilation, more reliable gross domestic product and gross domestic expenditure estimates within a balanced framework can be made available. Second, it showed that the “phased approach” distributed the work for SUT compilation reasonably well without overwhelming the national implementing agencies. The phased strategy also helped the ADB SUT Project team to better understand the capabilities of the compilers and accordingly address concerns encountered during the SUT compilation. Third, the SUT exercise is another step towards improved statistical capacity in the region. The national implementing agencies of the participating economies had gained sufficient knowledge in compiling SUTs, enabling them to carry forward the work on SUT construction, its application and improving the reliability of GDP estimation. Finally, with their useful experience in SUT compilation, the participating economies are expected to be in a strong position to provide the GDP expenditure weights required for the 2011 International Comparison Program. I sincerely thank all those who have contributed to making the SUT Project a success—the international and national consultants; resource persons; and most importantly, the national implementing agencies and other government agencies in each of the 18 participating economies for their in-kind contribution, cooperation, and hard work. Sincere appreciation is extended to the Development Indicators and Policy Research Division of the Economics and Research Department SUT Project team for their dedication in achieving the objectives of RETA 6483.
