Periodicity See Notes.
Timeliness See Notes. Access by the Public Advance dissemination of release calendar See Notes. The work needed to develop these data will be undertaken with a view to disseminating them in the year 2000, based on the data used to prepare the capital account. For most categories of this account, the flows recorded in the balance of payments are derived as the difference between initial and final positions for a given period, because these positions are the only data available. Although it would be possible, for the time being, to derive an IIP containing the initial and final positions of an asset or liability or a flow resulting from a position difference, such data would not be strictly accurate.
