Canada's balance of international payments and international investment position,
concepts, sources, methods and products
Abstract
This publication describes the statistical system used to produce Canada's
balance of international payments and international investment position. Each
of the accounts of these two statements is described in terms of concepts, data
sources, methods and products. The Canadian practice is related to international
standards. The publication concludes with a discusion of future challenges to
maintain and enhance this statistical system. An extensive glossary is included.
Some historical perspective is provided, notably in the Appendices where a summary
of time series is provided along with a chronology of events that affected Canada's
external sector over the last half of the XXth century. A description of the
foundation of statistics is essential to help users in assessing the quality
of data.
