Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual
The Manual provides and explains concepts, definitions, classifications, and conventions for balance of payments and international investment position statistics; it also presents a brief introduction to the various uses of data on balance of payments.
The appendix on “remittances” relates to the largely recognised importance of this dataset which is also part of the balance of payments set, and introduces the new concept of “personal transfers” that is replacing “workers’ remittances” in the balance of payments.
