Synopsis: This document presents an assessment of 1997 survey data and a summary of improvements introduced, as a result of countries' participation in the 1997 Co-ordinated Portfolio Investment Survey (CPIS), into national systems for collecting data on international (cross border) portfolio investment. The Godeaux Report * presented proposed goals for the reporting of portfolio investment flows and stocks. This document identifies actions still to be taken towards those goals. In addition, there is a review of developments that have affected portfolio investment statistics since the Godeaux Report was published. These include the focus on financial risk analysis, the increasing use of data from creditor and market sources for measuring external debt, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Special Data Dissemination Standard (SDDS) and revisions to the 1993 edition of the Balance of Payments Manual (BPM5). It is in this context that the planning for the 2001 CPIS has taken place. The publication is in four parts covering: long-term perspective on portfolio investment; analysis of 1997 CPIS results; important post-Godeaux Report developments; the 2001 CPIS * Final Report of the Working Party on the Measurement of International Capital Flows (Washington, DC; IMF, 1992)
