Coordination Balance of Payments and National Accounts

Export and import figures may differ in Statistics Sweden’s various statistical products in the Balance of Payments and the National Accounts. Estimates of foreign trade in services published as part of the Balance of Payments and the National Accounts may differ from the values published in the survey on foreign trade in services.

Work is underway to increase consistency between the real as well as the financial parts of the balance of payments and financial accounts.
