Canada's balance of international payments and international investment position: Concepts, sources, methods and products
This new publication describes the statistical system used to produce Canada's balance of international payments and international investment position, including the concepts, sources, methods and products.
It presents the statistical system for these external accounts in three parts. The first two parts describe the systems for the balance of payments statement and the international investment position statement. All the main accounts of these two statements are described, from their concepts to statistical products available. The third part outlines the various aspects of the relationship between the balance of payments system and the international investment statistical system.
A concluding chapter sets out some of the challenges to maintain and enhance these statistical systems. Appendices provide a historical summary of statistics of both statements as well as the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar, and a chronology of events that have affected Canada's external accounts during the last half of the 1900s.
Canada's balance of international payments and international investment position: Concepts, sources, methods and products (67-506-XPE, $45; 67-506-XIE, free) is now available. See How to order products.
