1993 SNA Update Information - Country comments for issue:
Right to use/exploit non-produced resources between residents and non-residents

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Except for land, transactions between residents and non-residents relating to the right to use or exploit nonproduced resources have not been fully elaborated in the 1993 SNA. For land, a notional resident unit is created that is deemed to purchase the land while the non-resident is deemed to purchase a financial asset (equity) of the notional unit. Should the treatment of land be extended to other non-produced resources such as water, fish, etc. or should there be alternative treatments?

 8/1/2006Central Bank of ChileBasados en el principio de centro de interés económico, estamos de acuerdo con las recomendaciones del AEG, en relación a extender el tratamiento de crear unidades ficticias a otros recursos no producidos, cuando una unidad no residente es la propietaria legal, suscribe un arrendamiento financiero y/o tiene una licencia para extraer recursos naturales durante un periodo de varios años. De igual manera, estamos de acuerdo en que la extracción de recursos estáticos, por una sola vez, no da lugar a la creación de una unidad ficticia y representa la venta de un activo. Finalmente, consideramos que las embarcaciones de pesca se consideran residentes si su operador establece una base en el país en cuestión.
