Purpose and mandate
- The Direct Investment Task Team (DITT) will advise the IMF’s Committee on Balance of Payments Statistics (BOPCOM) in the process of revising the BPM6.
- DITT will provide technical inputs and make recommendations on the methodology of direct investment within the framework of the revision.
- Given the specificity of this TT, it will also closely coordinate with the OECD Working Group on International Investment Statistics (WGIIS).
- Further details on the mandate and operations; guidance notes and working procedures; composition; and key issues to be addressed by DITT are provided in the Terms of Reference.
Timeline and operations
- DITT will be operational mostly throughout the Phase I of the update process (March 2020–March 2022).
- DITT may also be consulted during Phase II (drafting of the BPM7 chapters) on an as-needed basis, should any significant issues arise during the worldwide consultation process overseen by BPTT.
Global consultation on Draft Guidance Notes
- The purpose of this global consultation is to receive feedback from worldwide compilers/users of macroeconomic statistics not involved in the update process, with a view to informing further the proposals to be presented for formal approval to the IMF’s Committee on Balance of Payments Statistics (BOPCOM)/Advisory Expert Group on National Accounts (AEG).
- Each GN will be available for a period of four-weeks for global consultation after its posting.
- If you want to provide comments on a GN, a survey accompanies each Draft Guidance Note.
