Statistics on International Trade in Services (SITS) and Transfers

Germany’s Statistics on International Trade in Services are collected by the Deutsche Bundesbank to compile the Balance of Payments Statistics. These data serve as the basis for the research dataset. The research dataset provides detailed information on service transactions of firms engaged in cross-border service trade, including the transaction value for service exports and imports, the type of exported and imported services, and the partner country. It is mandatory to report service transactions between German residents and non-residents if they exceed a specified threshold amount. Transfers are also included in the dataset. The research dataset is available as a monthly panel dataset starting from 2001.
