“…(European Commission et al, 1993) Below we list the features of the SAM are identified to be the most important: First, it efficiently contributes to combining growth indicators, income allocation and poverty in one consistent framework; Second, SAM is a preferred means for adjusting various data sources and bridging the gap in information received from various statistical sources of data; Third, SAM is useful integrated statistical database for preparation and implementation of macroeconomic models, thus contributing to more efficient analytically based decision making process in the national economies (Kjosev, 2012).

The Social Accounting Matrix (SAM), together with the SESAME approach, proved highly useful in providing the basis for in-depth analyses of all the socio-economic flows in the developed economies. The aim of this paper, after initial explanation of the theoretical foundations of these methods for the development analysis, is to contribute to raising the awareness of the urgent necessity for developing and implementing these methodological approaches in the Republic of Macedonia. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the current situation related to the readiness of the national statistical system to provide all the necessary statistical data and logistical support for a more efficient preparation and implementation of these methodological approaches in the national economy. The paper analyses in detail the data describing particularly important aspects of the position of workers on the labour market aimed to be used as a basis for the SESAME approach. A comparative analysis with reference to the EU countries has been performed. The paper concludes by presenting practical recommendations which should, in our opinion, lead to preparation and implementation of the SAM and its extension (SESAME) in the Republic of Macedonia. The named should be used for the successful decision-making process related to creation and implementation of efficient macroeconomic and development policies in the country.Keywords: Macedonia, macroeconomic policies, SESAME, Social Accounting Matrix, sustainable development. Acknowledgments: We dedicate this paper to our families, for their continuous support and understanding.
