The Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM) models the phases of the statistical business process and provides generic terms to describe them. The GSBPM is used to harmonise statistical computing infrastructures, facilitate the sharing of software components and provide a framework for process quality assessment and improvement. The GSBPM is intended to apply to all activities undertaken by producers of official statistics, at both the national and international levels, that result in data outputs. It is designed to be independent of the data source, so it can be used for the description and quality assessment of processes based on surveys, censuses, administrative records, and other non-statistical or mixed sources.

To produce official statistics a set of processes needs to be followed, such as those described in the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM). However, as well as processes also information about flows between them exists (data, metadata, rules, parameters etc.). The Generic Statistical Information Model (GSIM) aims to define and describe these information objects in a harmonized way. GSIM provides a common language to describe information that supports the whole statistical production process from the identification of user needs through to the dissemination of statistical products.

A financial service offered by IFC, involving the structuring of IFC and co-investor equity exposures in such a way as to take advantage of differences in their risk-preferences and perceptions, generating benefits which can be shared by both. An investor making an investment in the equity of a developing country enterprise, instead of making the investment directly, gives the money to IFC in return for a U.S. dollar debt instrument.
