Training Catalog Course Details

This course, presented by the Statistics Department, provides practical guidance on compiling and disseminating the international accounts (balance of payments and IIP) statistics based on the BPM6 Compilation Guide (the Guide). The purpose of the course is to demonstrate how the conceptual framework described in the BPM6 may be translated into practice. The course consists of a series of lectures, workshops, and discussions on methods for compiling international accounts. They focus on compilation practices, including data sources that international accounts can draw on, as well as complex methodological and compilation issues related to specific balance of payments and IIP components and other issues that cut across accounts. Participants have the opportunity to discuss compilation challenges they have encountered and gain insights into the analytical uses of the international accounts.
