International: Supplemental Statistics

Ownership-based current account

The ownership-based framework is a supplement to the international transactions accounts (ITAs) that presents current account statistics combining cross-border trade with the net receipts of affiliates of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Statistics under this framework were published from 1995 through 2022. Statistics for 1982-2020, constructed using the latest data vintages available in February 2022, are available below. The series is described in the "Technical Documentation" below.

Because BEA has discontinued publication of the series, it is providing more complete technical documentation, as well as a template for table 2 that users can use to update and extend the series when new data are released. The technical documentation describes the series in detail and provides full information on the steps needed to construct each data value. The template will assist users downloading newly released and revised BEA statistics and in constructing table 2 based on those downloaded statistics. The documentation and templates are available below.
