International Trade in Services

International Trade in Services has grown, year after year, in importance in the world economy. Consequently, the United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) grew more concerned about the adequate measurement of statistics of international trade in services (SITS). Only recently was SITS added as a separate field to the Trade Statistics Branch of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD).

The principal objectives for UNSD in this area are

(i) the establishment of a world-wide database on SITS,

(ii) the creation of database of country practices in the compilation and dissemination of SITS, and

(iii) the further development of the methodology of SITS together with the other members of the Task Force of SITS.
