Direct Investment Task Team (DITT)
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).
DITT will be operational mostly throughout the Phase I of the update process (March 2020–March 2022). However, 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.
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.
Draft Guidance Notes for Global Consultation
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 on this webpage. Please refer to the BPM6 Update: Compendium of Research Issues for the full list of topics on which GNs will be prepared by the BPM6 Update Task Teams and made available for global consultation.
