The Manual sets out an internationally agreed framework
for the compilation of statistics of international trade
in services to meet the need for more comparable and
comprehensive statistics on services trade. The
recommendations in the Manual, which will be promoted by the six
organizations, will enable countries to progressively expand and
structure information on trade in services in an internationally
comparable way.
The
Manual conforms with and explicitly relates to the System of National
Accounts 1993 and the fifth edition of the International Monetary
Fund's Balance of Payments Manual.
In February 2010 the United Nations
Statistical Commission approved the revised version of the Manual on
Statistics of International Trade in Services 2010. The final
version is currently being edited. In the meantime the unedited
version of the Manual is available
here. |
