Data Change: Argentina - BOP under BPM6
Friday, 11 Aug 2017 09:16 ET
By Jay Lynch
Summary
August 2017 -- For the detailed balance of payments for Argentina, the source has advanced the framework from BPM5 to BPM6 (117 quarterly series 1994-2016, replaced by 87 from 2006).
Detail

The source has implemented the IMF Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition. In response, we have archived the predecessors (BPM5, 1994Q1 to 2016Q4) by renaming with an "_B5" specifier, by marking metadata as "discontinued" and by segregating in the catalog. The replacements (BPM6) start at 2006Q1. Figures are millions of U.S. dollars (Mil. USD) not seasonally adjusted (NSA).

The active series reside in the historical catalog (Argentina » Trad » Balance of Payments » BPM6) and the predecessors under the associated "discontinued" folder. They include, for example:

  • BP$CABUQ.IARG  = [DISCONTINUED] Current account - Balance, (Mil. USD, NSA)
  • BPNCABUQ.IARG  = Current account [1] - Balance, (Mil. USD, NSA)
  • BPNKABUQ.IARG  = Capital account [2] - Balance
  • BPNSVACUQ.IARG = Manufacturing services on physical inputs belonging to others [1.A.b.1] - Credit

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
