Database Specific
Database Specific Abstract AbstractThis dataset provides statistics on international trade in services by service category and partner country for 34 OECD countries plus the European Union (EU27), the euro area (EA17), the Russian Federation and Hong Kong, China as well as definitions and methodological notes. These data concern international trade in services between residents and non-residents of countries and are reported within the framework of the fifth edition of the IMF's Balance of Payments Manual and the Extended Balance of Payments Services Classification (EBOPS 2002), which is consistent with the balance of payments classification but is more detailed. To the extent that countries report them, data are also broken down by type of service according to the EBOPS classification. Series are shown in national currency, euros and US dollars and are recorded from 1970 onwards.

Quality comments Quality commentsThere has been a growing interest in monitoring patterns of trade in services around the world, which is partly associated with ongoing trade negotiations and partly due to the increasing importance of services in OECD economies. It has been developed to supplement other OECD publications on trade in services to address the data needs of trade analysts. It is also an important part of OECD's programme to facilitate the implementation of the recommendations of the Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services, published in December 2002.
