Revisions to Trade in Services

Revised estimates of trade in services for January through June 2005 were released on September 13, with the issuance of the monthly press release, U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services, July 2005. The revisions in services reflect corrections for over-statements of trade in “other” private services due to the inclusion of settlements under financial contracts. See the box in “U.S. International Services: Cross-Border Trade in 2004 and Sales through Affiliates in 2003,” in the October 2005 issue of the Survey of Current Business, for additional information on revisions.
