Eurostat. Eurostat Statistics: Balance of Payments - International Transactions | Country: Italy | Variable: Net balance (in 1 000 million ECU/EUR) : Current account : Rest of the world, 1992 - 2013. Data-Planet™ Statistical Datasets by Conquest Systems, Inc. Dataset-ID: 065-001-005 Dataset: Presents a series of indicators representing economic performance and competitiveness of European Union member states, EU aggregates, and other nations on an ad hoc basis. The balance of payments is a statistical statement that summarizes the transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. The current account balance determines the exposure of an economy vis-à-vis the rest of the world, whereas the capital and financial account explains how it is financed. The series also includes indicators of foreign direct investment (FDI), whereby an enterprise concerned either invests to establish a new plant/office, or alternatively, purchases existing assets of a foreign enterprise. Also shown are trends in international trade in services and workers’ compensation and remittances. Provides harmonized, national-level data on the euro area, European Union (EU) member states, EU candidate states, and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries, where available. Indicators are presented in seven broad categories: economy and finance; population and social conditions; industry, trade, and services; agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; international trade; transportation; environment and energy; and science and technology. The euro area comprises the EU member states that adopted the euro as their common currency, which was established in January 1999 with 11 countries and has expanded to 17 countries known as the EA-17: Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland. The EU (EU-27) includes the EA-17 countries plus: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. EFTA currently comprises Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. For further information on the countries included in the statistics presented in this dataset, please visit http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Main_Page . Data are provided by national statistical authorities to Eurostat, where they are harmonized using European-wide methodologies. Data are released at the indicator level on a schedule maintained by Eurostat; hence, currency may vary across indicators. Periodicity is annual for all indicators; monthly and quarterly data is also provided where available. http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/estat-navtree-portlet-prod/BulkDownloadListing Category: Industry, Business, and Commerce, International Relations and Trade Subject: Foreign Investment, European Union, Balance of Payments Source: Eurostat Eurostat is the statistical office of the European Union (EU) located in Luxembourg. Eurostat was established in 1953 to meet the requirements of the Coal and Steel Community. Over the years its task has broadened, and it became a Directorate-General (DG) of the European Commission when the European Community was founded in 1958. Eurostat’s key role is to supply comparable statistics on European Union member state and candidate and European Free Trade Association countries to other DGs and supply the Commission and other European Institutions with data so they can define, implement, and analyze EU policies. Eurostat does not collect data; rather, the agency’s role is to consolidate data sent from the statistical authorities of member states and ensure they are comparable, harmonized according to Europe-wide methodologies. With the development of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the establishment of the euro as the single currency, Eurostat now publishes economic indicators for the whole euro-zone. http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/
