The Commission of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) is officially launching the online platform of the Multilateral Surveillance Database (BDSM), this Wednesday, May 05, 2021, by videoconference.

In accordance with new international recommendations for the preparation of economic and financial statistics, resulting from the updating of statistical systems, the Department of Economic Policies and Internal Taxation (DPE) of the UEMOA Commission has carried out an in-depth revision of the model of the Multilateral Surveillance Database (BDSM). It is an essential tool for preparing periodic reports on multilateral surveillance, but also for economic forecasting and analysis. However, more generally, the purpose of BDSM is to provide statistics on various sectors of the Union's economies.
In 2019, the UEMOA Commission initiated a project to set up an online BDSM platform. In particular, this project made it possible to move from the current “Excel” interface, under which each country's BDSM model is presented, to a centralized web platform. The online platform for multilateral surveillance data can be consulted at the following link: http://bdsm.uemoa.int/
