Abstract

This paper reviews the measurement of international capital flows and investment positions, and the problems that stem from the rapid innovations in financial derivatives and hedging instruments during the 1980s. These innovations created gaps in statistical coverage and may have significantly increased the uncertainty involved in estimating international capital transactions and investment positions.
