In September 2016, the balance of payments data will be published. Along with the regular data revision, the following data reclassification will be performed:

  1. "Non-monetary gold" will become a separate item under "Goods"; revised illegal import data will also be included.
  2. Direct investment income will be reclassified: the previously used directional principle will be replaced by the assets and liabilities principle.
  3. Beginning with the data for 2014, changes in the adjustment of euro banknote issues and holdings reported under the assets of the central banki in the international investment position will be reclassified from "Other adjustments" to "Transactions", and an opposite entry of the above changes will be included under the liabilities of the central bank.
  4. An additional data source is introduced to reflect transactions with real estate in the data of direct investment in Latvia.
