This Guide explains the nature, objectives, and operation of the GDDS; the data dimensions it covers; and how countries participate. It provides national statistical authorities with a management tool and a framework to foster sound statistical methodology, professional data compilation, and data dissemination. The Guide supersedes the version updated in March 2002 and incorporates the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) as specific elements of the GDDS sociodemographic component, which was articulated with the collaboration of the World Bank. </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='media'> <div class='column-left'> <a class='float-left tabbed_box_image' href='/books/a-manual-on-statistics-of-international-trade-in-services'> <img class="book-main-cover" itemprop="image" alt="A Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services" src="https://www.bookstore.imf.org/rails/active_storage/representations/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBbmNaIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--ea28932969f017ca7fc0f3b24a4ed5562d4c344e/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJYW5CbkJqb0dSVlE2QzNKbGMybDZaVWtpRERJMU1IZ3lOVEFHT3daVSIsImV4cCI6bnVsbCwicHVyIjoidmFyaWF0aW9uIn19--1516aa80832de9e4368027226ac35a513af17c9f/9781589061286_front.jpg?locale=en" /> </a> </div> <div class='column-right'> <div class='tabbed_box_title'> <a title="A Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services" class="title" href="/books/a-manual-on-statistics-of-international-trade-in-services">A Manual on Statistics of International Trade i...</a> </div> <div class='tabbed_box_description'> <div class="trix-content"> The Manual sets out an internationally agreed framework for the compilation and reporting of statistics on international trade in services in the broad sense. It addresses the growing need, including in international trade negotiations and agreements, for more detailed, comparable, and comprehensive statistics on this type of trade in its various forms. The recommendations will enable countries to progressively expand and structure the information they compile in an internationally comparable way. The Manual conforms with and explicitly relates to the System of National Accounts 1993 and the fifth edition of the IMF's Balance of Payments Manual. It is published jointly by the United Nations, European Union, IMF, OECD, UNCTAD, and World Trade Organization. </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='media'> <div class='column-left'> <a class='float-left tabbed_box_image' href='/books/coordinated-portfolio-investment-survey-guide-2nd-edition'> <img class="book-main-cover" itemprop="image" alt="Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey Guide (second edition)" src="https://www.bookstore.imf.org/rails/active_storage/representations/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBaXdYIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--dd80a78a7f61343a7263fb217cf46030ac838926/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJYW5CbkJqb0dSVlE2QzNKbGMybDZaVWtpRERJMU1IZ3lOVEFHT3daVSIsImV4cCI6bnVsbCwicHVyIjoidmFyaWF0aW9uIn19--1516aa80832de9e4368027226ac35a513af17c9f/9781451944044.jpg?locale=en" /> </a> </div> <div class='column-right'> <div class='tabbed_box_title'> <a title="Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey Guide (second edition)" class="title" href="/books/coordinated-portfolio-investment-survey-guide-2nd-edition">Coordinated Portfolio Investment Survey Guide (...</a> </div> <div class='tabbed_box_description'> <div class="trix-content"> This paper reviews the coordinated portfolio investment survey (CPIS) guide.

Therefore, to parallel revisions made to the System of National Accounts (1993), an addendum and amendments to the fifth edition (1993) of the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM5) were prepared and published, in early 2000, as a supplement entitled Financial Derivatives. This supplement comprises two parts. Part I contains a new chapter in which the features of financial derivatives and treatments appropriate for specific derivatives were described. Part II consists of modifications to those portions of the BPM5 that pertain to financial derivatives. The revisions are shown by means of shading and strikeout. Financial Derivatives is an essential component of the BPM5. </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='media'> <div class='column-left'> <a class='float-left tabbed_box_image' href='/books/a-manual-for-country-economists'> <img class="book-main-cover" itemprop="image" alt="A Manual for Country Economists" src="https://www.bookstore.imf.org/rails/active_storage/representations/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBaWtaIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--097219ce4bb9c6f0d2d6ef80f2666e0e953ef7ca/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdCem9MWm05eWJXRjBTU0lJY0c1bkJqb0dSVlE2QzNKbGMybDZaVWtpRERJMU1IZ3lOVEFHT3daVSIsImV4cCI6bnVsbCwicHVyIjoidmFyaWF0aW9uIn19--ffba7aa561610a1b4e6953220835e52b04fba621/1-55775-460-8.jpg?locale=en" /> </a> </div> <div class='column-right'> <div class='tabbed_box_title'> <a title="A Manual for Country Economists" class="title" href="/books/a-manual-for-country-economists">A Manual for Country Economists</a> </div> <div class='tabbed_box_description'> <div class="trix-content"> This Manual, addressed mainly to new staff members in the area and functional departments of the IMF, presents different ways to tackle specific problems that desk economists encounter in analyzing country data.
