In July the MNB started to use the new Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual 6th edition (BPM6) methodology to compile its monthly reports. The only difference with the previous method is that illegal trade is now incorporated in the goods and services section.
In addition to its quarterly publications, the MNB started to release monthly data to provide better information about the “real economy and financial developments related to the rest of the world with the shortest lag possible following the reference period”.
Monthly data and estimates will be available on MNB’s website.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
We would like to offer that same opportunity to our readers. We would like to invite you to help us deliver the quality business journalism you require. Hit our Support the BBJ button and you can choose the how much and how often you send us your contributions.
