1993 SNA Update Information - Activation of guarantees (contingent assets) and constructive obligations

Issue description
Issue description in [English] | [French] | [Russian] | [Spanish]
Loan guarantees have a significant impact on economic behavior, especially when issued by government. The 1993 SNA treats guarantees as contingent liabilities and thus has no record of the existence of the guarantee until it is activated. Further, the treatment of flows arising at the activation is not explicit. Should obligations arising from guarantees be recognized when guarantees are granted, particularly regarding those guarantees for which it is possible to make reasonable estimates of expected future claims?
