Summary

The IMF's Statistics Department has been actively assisting Statistics South Africa in the development of energy and air emissions accounts, through a project backed by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The mission conducted during February 13–17, 2025, found significant progress in the development of energy accounts for 2015–2021, scheduled for release in March 2025. Recommendations include further development of air emissions accounts, enhancing the accounts, and securing necessary resources to sustain these efforts. These initiatives are crucial for South Africa's climate policy formulation and international reporting obligations.
