It discusses the legal framework, methodology, data sources, and main items compiled according to the IMF's 5th edition of the Balance of Payments Manual. Implementation of the 6th edition of the manual is underway, with studies to adopt changes to classifications of certain services items and compile additional statistics like FISIM.
