Back Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services (PDF)


Eurostat, together with the United Nations, IMF, OECD, UNCTAD, and WTO, have produced a Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services, through the mechanism of an inter-agency task force. The Manual sets out an internationally agreed framework for the compilation and reporting of statistics of international trade in services in a broad sense. It addresses the growing needs, including those of international trade negotiations and agreements, for more detailed, more comparable and more comprehensive statistics on this type of trade in its various forms. The Manual has benefited from strong co-operation among the international organisations, the advice of specialist consultants, the invaluable input of a large number of countries' experts and the many comments received during the worldwide review.
