OECD Statistics on International Trade in Services 2010, Volume I, Detailed tables by service category
OECD Publishing, Jan 2011, Pages: 449
This OECD publication seeks to provide detailed data on international trade in services between residents and non-residents of the 30 OECD member countries broken down by type of service according to a common classification and conceptual framework. The types of service are presented according to the services classification of the 1993 Fifth
Edition of the Balance of Payments Manual of the International Monetary Fund (BPM5) and its detailed extension, the Extended Balance of Payments Services (EBOPS) Classification (given at the end of the introduction). EBOPS can be characterised as a disaggregation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) classification for balance of payments transactions in trade in services.
The main categories of this classification are identical to the 11 main service categories of the BPM5 standard components, with one minor exception, the treatment of construction services, which can also affect other business services. The EBOPS classification asks for construction abroad and construction in the compiling economy. These items both include goods and services purchased by construction services operations, while BPM5 recommends that these expenditures for goods and services purchased in the host economy be included in Other business services, Other. With this one exception, compiling and reporting on the basis of the EBOPS classification simultaneously satisfies IMF requirements.
