About this data
The OECD-WTO Balanced Trade in Services (BaTIS) dataset is a complete, consistent, and balanced matrix of international trade in services statistics (ITSS). It contains annual bilateral data covering 202 reporters and partners, broken down by total services and 26 EBOPS 2010 (BPM6) categories from 2005 to 2024. BaTIS is the result of joint efforts by the OECD and WTO. Two main features enable BaTIS to stand out as the international benchmark for any analysis on international trade in services: BaTIS is complete and consistent. At present, only around 65% of world trade in services is bilaterally specified, and the percentage is even lower for the individual service categories. The OECD-WTO methodology leverages all available official statistics and combines them with estimations and adjustments to provide users with a complete matrix covering virtually all economies in the world. BaTIS is balanced. To resolve the asymmetries between reported and mirror flows, exports and imports are reconciled by calculating a symmetry-index weighted average between the two, following a similar approach to that developed for international merchandise trade statistics. Batis provides three measures for each trade flow (under the ‘adjustment’ dimension): Reported. Reflects the value officially reported by the country (where available), some values are rescaled to fit world totals. Adjusted and/or imputed. Reflects, in addition to the reported values, any adjustments made to ensure internal consistency as well as the estimations made by the OECD-WTO to fill in the gaps in the reported information. Balanced. Reflects the reconciled bilateral trade flow, where exports equal mirror imports. Official information on bilateral trade flows was collected from OECD, Eurostat, national sources as well as UNSD. The WTO-UNCTAD trade in services dataset, based on a number of primary sources complemented with estimations, was the main source for data with partner world. The BaTIS dataset can be used as a stand-alone input for economic analysis and policy-making. In addition, balanced trade in services data form an essential input to the OECD Trade in Value Added (TiVA) initiative, for which a balanced view of international trade is crucial. BaTIS is intended to be regularly updated and constantly improved as new data become available.
