Introduction The main source of Brazil s monthly BoP statistics is an International Transaction Reporting System (ITRS), called Exchange Contract System; The ITRS is reminiscent, as in many countries, from a FX control system. Although controls were lifted years ago, the exchange registration structure was kept mainly for statistical purposes; The ITRS captures all exchanges between domestic and foreign currencies due to transactions occurred between Brazil and the rest of the world; As reinvested earnings don t affect exchange rates flows, they could not be compiled using information from ITRS. As a result, Brazil stopped compiling statistics on Reinvested Earnings in 1999.
Data Sources First release of monthly data on Reinvested Earnings in April 2015, as part of BPM6 edition adoption; Establishment of two main surveys: Census of Foreign Capital and Brazilian Capital Abroad: Census of Foreign Capital: focus on domestic invested enterprises. Carried out in 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010, as a population survey, and since 2011 as an annual sample survey; Brazilian Capital Abroad: purpose of evaluating the stock of foreign assets held by Brazilian residents abroad. It s been an annual population survey since 2001 and also a quaterly sample survey since 2011.

Reinvested Earnings on Expenditures - Direct Investment Liabilities Census series just comprehends data until 2014, as the survey is conducted with a eight month delay from year-base. Thus, the estimation process on profits for the current year is constructed using the sectors profits forecast. Leading indicators are sector s performance indicators, activity level indicators and firms and consumers expectations. Finally, currents dividends, extracted from ITRS, are subtracted from estimated profits in order to get reinvested earnings.
Reinvested Earnings on Revenues - Direct Investment Assets Brazilian Capital Abroad (CBE): information on profits from investment abroad: Annual population survey no extrapolation needed; Monthly distribution/estimation based on PMI index, as the U.S. is a major investment destination for Brazil; Current estimation is a forecast based on global economic indicators; Dividends are the smoothed current series, provided by ITRS.

Challenges Brazilian external public is not used to revisions on BoP data, as statistics provided by ITRS are rarely revised. On the other hand, reinvested earnings published series will be periodically revised, as new surveys results are produced; Our methodology subtracts current dividends from estimated profits, although these variables don t originate from the same economic period; Retroact reinvested earnings series until 1995.
