The annual and quarterly foreign direct investment data will be brought into line at the time of the release of the comprehensive historical revision in October 2012.

Reference period of change - first quarter 2003

This is the first release of the international investment position on a quarterly basis.

Preliminary estimates for 2002 and quarterly estimates from 1990 to the first quarter of 2003 are now available. The increased frequency for these data is part of a multi-year initiative to improve the balance sheet information for all sectors of the economy.
