ABOUT THE PUBLICATION
International Investment Position, Australia: Supplementary Statistics (cat. no. 5352.0) presents statistics on Australia’s international investment position by countries, which supplements the quarterly publication, Balance of Payments and International Investment Position, Australia (cat. no. 5302.0). For foreign investment in Australia (liabilities), it includes details of country of investor, investment stocks (level of investment), flows (transactions) and associated income. For Australian investment abroad (assets), similar detail is provided in respect of country of investment. The non-transaction changes which occur due to exchange rate effects, other price effects and other changes in the levels of these assets and liabilities that are not due to transactions are not shown in this publication but do contribute to the level of investment.
The statistics are presented as time series for the calendar years 2001 to 2009 inclusive and are consistent with those to be published in the June quarter 2010 issue of Balance of Payments and International Investment Position, Australia (cat. no. 5302.0).
CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE
This issue introduces estimates compiled according to revised international standards, the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, sixth edition (BPM6).
REVISIONS
Incorporation of the latest survey and administrative data has resulted in revisions to International Investment data back to calendar year 2001.
