Balance of Payments

The statistics are published every quarter approx. 40 days after the end of the reference period. Main results are published monthly approx. 40 days after the end of the particular month.

Timeliness and time lag - final results

The statistics are published every quarter approx. 70 days after the end of the reference period, preliminary figures, however, after approx. 40 days. Main results are published monthly approx. 40 days after the end of the particular month.

The statistics in full detail on an annual basis are published approx. 10 months after the reference year.

According to practice the data of the months of the previous year are locked by late September. Simultaneously the data of the preceding year are revised and locked again. The final revision is coincident with the final national account compilation three years after the reference year. The final results are published in October.

Punctuality

The balance of payments statistics are normally published without delays as to the preannounced dates, which are released at least three months ahead.
