| Loans with concessional interest rates could be seen as providing a transfer from lender to
borrower. Should such transfers be recognized in the SNA? Although there is no clear definition of
what is a concessional loan, the guidance in the External Debt Guide suggests features such as an intention to convey a benefit and occurrence in a noncommercial setting (usually government-togovernment). If concessional loans are not recognized in the core accounts, should the
concessional amounts be considered as supplementary information where they are significant? |
