Quality
Dissemination of documentation on Since reference month January 2015, the Bank of Greece has adjusted its
methodology and sources used in methodology for compiling the Greek International Investment Position to the
recommendations and definitions of the IMF-BPM6-Balance of Payments Manual
preparing statistics
(6th edition, 2009).
Until end 2014, the compilation of International investment position was based on
the recommendations and definitions of the 5th edition of the manual
IMF-BPM5-Balance of Payments Manual (5th edition, 1993).
The BPM5 methodology used to compile the IIP and the data sources used are
published in the "Annual Report".
This new BPM6 methodology is fully compatible with the statistical requirements
set out in the ECB Guideline (ECB/2011/23) of December 2011 as amended, and
with the European Commissions Regulation No 555/2012.
Statistical cross checks are made between pure stock statistics used for the
compilation of the IIP and BOP flows data collected from respondent banks and
direct declarants such as custodians, resident stock brokers, mutual funds, and
investment companies. An additional check is made using MFIs balance sheet
statistics of the Monetary and Financial Statistics Division of the Bank of Greece.
