Abstract: The Bank of Japan and the Ministry of Finance released a new data series, external debt statistics, starting in September 2003. Japan already compiles data related to its balance of payments (BOP) based on the Balance of Payments Manual (Fifth Edition) issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The public release of this data is also governed by an international standard set by the IMF, known as the special data dissemination standard (SDDS). The compilation and the release of the external debt statistics was decided based on the fact that the SDDS was recently broadened to cover the compilation and release of such statistics. The external debt statistics will be the third series data related to BOP, after the BOP statistics (flow statistics) and the international investment position (IIP, balance statistics).
