Foreword 
 
The  Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services has been developed and published jointly by our six 
organizations, managed through the mechanism of an inter-agency task force.  
The Manual sets out an internationally agreed framework for the compilation and reporting of statistics of 
international trade in services in a broad sense. It addresses the growing needs, including those of international trade 
negotiations and agreements, for more detailed, more comparable and more comprehensive statistics on this type of 
trade in its various forms. The recommendations, which will be promoted by our six organizations, 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 
International Monetary Fund’s Balance of Payments Manual
The Manual has benefited from strong cooperation among the international organizations, the advice of specialist 
consultants, the invaluable input of a large number of member countries’ experts and the many comments received 
during the worldwide review conducted by the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund in 1999-2000.  It 
is intended for use by national and international agencies, and we commend it to countries for progressive 
implementation, taking into account their national information needs, priorities and resources.
