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 message 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 (stocks
and flows); for those countries which base their compilation of
the BOP on surveys.
1.2 Field of Application
This message is to be applied in the framework of the data
collection for the Balance of Payment compilation.
1.3 Principles
The message , which contains 3 parts, is sent by enterprises
(non-banks) to the BOP compiler to supply information on
amounts received from non-residents via resident banks. This is
an alternative route to sending a BOPINF message. Or, as is the
case in France, to report on all their transactions, payments
and receipts.
This part deals with part 1 of the message.
This message could 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.
This part deals with part 2 of the message.
Further, this message could 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)
This part deals with part 3 of the message.
Each part is independent from each other. A message can contain
one, two or all of them.
