1.5. Objectives of the study
Specifically, the objectives of this study are:
1. To identify an extended statistical information system for
monitoring and analyzing the interaction between SUT/I-O Table and Economic
Development in social changes ;
2. To determine the new insight into economic and social
dynamic provided by a comparative analysis of SUT/I-O Table and other different
Satellite Accounts.
3. And to identify an empirical presentation of previous
themes in economic development in the case of Rwanda.
From the achievement of the above stated objectives, the
research facilitates to depict how the rational use of Supply and Use
Tables/I-O Table's practices and principles in Rwanda in a proper manner can
contribute in economic prevision and economic flows control in realizing the

the past but also how trends observed in the past can have consequences for the
future while attempting to project economic development of a country.
1.7. Justification of the study
As far as Rwanda is concerned, our references are based only
on the structure of SUT/I-O Table of SNA, and Satellite Accounts and
Sustained Economic Development and a specific emphasis was drown on improvement
of SNA structures procedures and methods that fit the needs, aims, economic
structure and skills of a developing country like Rwanda. And in addition, the
researcher is justified to undertake this study on the base of the following
justifications:
1. The study intends to identify the relative importance of
SUT/ I-O Table.
2. Related to above factor, a national account may use
indicators ratios such as input-output ratio to estimate value added if only
output data are available and vice versa.
3. The identification of the role of SUT in Economic
Development through SNA helps other researchers and somewhat, Rwandan
population is awoken.
