Release Information

The Central Bank of Chile reports statistics on Chile's balance of payments each quarter in U.S. dollar terms. BPM5 data run 1996 to 2011, and BPM6 from 2003.

The Central Bank of Chile presents BOP statistics under IMF Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM6). 

Goods involve a change of ownership between a resident and a non-resident. The property account (goods) contains five categories: general goods, goods for processing, repair of goods, goods acquired in port, and non-monetary gold. Exports are classified by cross-industry (ISIC Rev.2) and by products (SA Rev.IV). Imports are classified by type of product and by use.

The services account contains three categories: transportation, travel, and other services. Transportation services are transactions between residents and non-residents that include the transport of passengers, transfer of goods (freight), and rental of manned means of transport. The travel account values expenditure of non-residents during their stay. 

The income account includes direct investment in Chile, direct investment abroad, portfolio investment assets, portfolio investment liabilities, reserve assets, and other passive investments. 

Current transfers are transactions between residents and non-residents in which one party provides financial resources without receiving anything of economic value in exchange. Transfer of ownership of a fixed asset and forgiveness of a liability are not included. 

Data is not subject to past revisions.
