  SCALE OF CONTRIBUTIONS FOR 2014 BUDGET 
1.1.  The scale of Members' contributions for the 20 14 budget shall be approved by the General 
Council by the end of the year. This document presents for advance information the anticipated 
2014 budget share percentage for each Member. 
1.2.  The WTO Financial Regulations provides that the share to be contributed by each Member to 
the annual operating budget of the WTO shall be established on the basis of that country's (or 
separate customs territory's) international trade (imports plus exports) in relation to the 
international trade of all WTO Members. The statistics are derived from the balance of payments statistics on trade in goods and services published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for the last five years for which figures are available. For the major part of WTO Members, these 
statistics related to the years 2007 - 2011 for the calculation of the 2014 contributions. 
1.3.  The IMF has introduced in 2012 the 6
th edition of the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM6). 
The slight adjustments in methodology introduced by BPM6 are included in WTO calculations 
starting with 2011 trade data. This will smooth fluc tuations introduced by the change in the data 
compilation. 
1.4.  The following table presents each WTO Member's share based on the above statistics:
