Notes: ¢ÙIn accordance with the Balance of
Payments accounting rules, a net credit for a standard component is
represented by a positive value, and a
net debit a negative value.
¢ÚA positive value for the
balance figure in the current account represents a surplus whereas a negative
value
represents a deficit. For the
capital and financial account, a positive value indicates a net
capital and financial inflow and a negative value
indicates a net outflow.As
increases in external assets are debit entries and decreases are
credit entries, a negative value for net change
in reserve assets represents
a net
increase and a positive value represents a net decrease.
¢ÛFigures have been
revised to incorporate the revised data on destination consumption
expenditure of incoming
visitors and travellers
released by the Hong Kong Tourism Board.
¢ÜFigures prior to 2004
have been revised with the adoption of an enhanced methodology based on
more
relevant data available.
changes (including price changes and exchange rate changes) and
reclassifications are excluded.
¢ÞIn principle, the net
sum of credit entries and debit entries is zero. In practice, discrepancies between
the
credit and debit entries may
however occur for various reasons as the data are collected from many
sources. Equality between
the sum
of credit entries and debit
entries is brought about by the inclusion of a balancing item which
reflects net errors and omissions.
@Figures are subject to revision later on as more data become
available.
