Notes: Figures in brackets refer to percentage changes over the same period of the preceding year.
Trade in services statistics are compiled based on recommendations made in the United Nations' System of National Accounts 2008, including the change of ownership principle in recording goods sent abroad for processing and merchanting. For details about the concepts, definitions and related compilation methods of the change of ownership principle, please refer to the Special Report on Gross Domestic Product published in September 2012.
Figures are subject to revision later on.
