0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Direct
balance of payment declaration message (BOPDIR) to be used in
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
The Direct balance of payments declaration message (BOPDIR) can
be sent by non-bank residents to report directly to the Balance
of Payments (BOP) compiler on:
* transactions via bank accounts held at a resident bank
* transactions via bank accounts held at a non-resident bank
* transactions and clearing via accounts with non-bank non-
residents
* foreign assets and liabilities
* information in the context of a BOP-related survey (stock and
flows); for those countries which base their compilation of the
Balance of Payments on surveys.
1.2 Field of application
The Direct balance of payment declaration message may be used
for both national and international applications. It is based
on universal practice related to administration, commerce and
transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
industry.
1.3 Principles
The message contains 2 parts:
In the first part of the message, it is used to supply
information on amounts received from non-residents via resident
banks. This is an alternative route to sending a BOPINF message
to the bank.
In the second part, this message can also be used for reporting
on settlements via external bank accounts, current accounts
held abroad with non-banks or participation in an international
clearing system.
Further, this message part can also be used for reporting
results for all types of BOP-related surveys: either for
reporting results of general questionnaires or for specific
questionnaires such as the reports on positions (foreign assets
and liabilities).
Each part is independent from each other. A message can contain
either or both of them.
