Balance of payment data record of the flows of goods, services and finance between an economy and the rest of the world. As one of the primary functions of the IMF is to prevent financial crises and assist countries in balance of payment difficulties, the collection of standardised, comparable balance of payment data is seen as a core task.

The Balance of Payments (BOP) is a statistical statement that summarizes, for a specific period (typically a year or quarter), the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. It covers:

• all the goods, services, factor income and current transfers an economy receives from or provides to the rest of the world
• capital transfers and changes in an economy's external financial claims and liabilities
