Statistical framework for Australian trade in services
statistics
![Page 11: Australia’s practice of management, analysis and utilization of trade in services statistics. Nic Brown Assistant Secretary Trade and Economic Analysis](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649eab5503460f94bb1237/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
History of collecting Australian services statistics
• Compiled by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
• Integral part of BOP and National Accounts Statistics
• Collected from banking statistics up to the 1970s– Only broad aggregates produced
• From 1980s sourced from business surveys and other ‘administrative’ data– Range of data collected expanded to meet
users needs
![Page 12: Australia’s practice of management, analysis and utilization of trade in services statistics. Nic Brown Assistant Secretary Trade and Economic Analysis](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649eab5503460f94bb1237/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conceptual framework
• IMF Balance of Payments Manual version 5 (BPM5)
• Resident/non-resident transactions– Does not cover foreign affiliates trade (Mode 3)
• Services valued at market price• Services include some transactions in
goods, – Travel expenditure by visitors and students
and government personnel (including defence)– Packaged software included in goods
![Page 13: Australia’s practice of management, analysis and utilization of trade in services statistics. Nic Brown Assistant Secretary Trade and Economic Analysis](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649eab5503460f94bb1237/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Trade in services statistics - Beyond the BOP framework
• The United Nations has published the Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services, 2002
• Four GATS modes of supply
![Page 14: Australia’s practice of management, analysis and utilization of trade in services statistics. Nic Brown Assistant Secretary Trade and Economic Analysis](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649eab5503460f94bb1237/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Modes of supply
• Four modes of supply– Mode 1 Cross border supply– Mode 2 Consumption abroad– Mode 3 Commercial presence – Mode 4 Movement of natural persons
• Data by country, by mode of supply by detail services activity
![Page 15: Australia’s practice of management, analysis and utilization of trade in services statistics. Nic Brown Assistant Secretary Trade and Economic Analysis](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649eab5503460f94bb1237/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Data sources
• ABS Survey of International Trade in Services (SITS)– Stratified sample survey– Conducted quarterly– Maintaining coverage is an issue
![Page 16: Australia’s practice of management, analysis and utilization of trade in services statistics. Nic Brown Assistant Secretary Trade and Economic Analysis](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649eab5503460f94bb1237/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Data sources continued
• Administrative data– Merchandise trade data– Overseas arrivals and departures data– Student visa data– Survey of International Students– International and National Visitors
Survey– Australia Prudential Regulatory Authority
(APRA) financial and insurance data

ABS Extended BOP classification
• Extended services classification – 11 major groups – 60+ detailed services commodities
• Because of confidentiality, the level of detail for most countries will only be up to the 11 major groups
