(EDS), Coordinated Portfolio Investment Statistics (CPIS) and International
Banking Statistics (IBS).

2. Methodology
The Portfolio Investment statistics are collected as part of an integrated
framework for compiling quarterly BOP Investment Income and Financial
Account, EDS, IIP and IBS by the Central Bank. The reporting entities (REs),
which comprise custodian agencies and reporting entities that report their
owned exposures, record information on transactions, non-transactional and
positions of the securities using the ISIN codes and other details required for
external sector statistics, such as counter-party and/or issuer name,
institutional sector, country, currency, as well as maturity structure where
applicable.

2.1 External Sector Compilation in Malaysia
Following the implementation of Balance of Payments and International
Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM6) in 2009, IMF has strongly
recommended on an integrated approach be adopted by compilers to
facilitate the production of the BOP and its other related statistics, including
IIP, EDS, CPIS, CDIS and IBS, from a single source in order to ensure data quality
and consistency throughout these datasets. The compilation approach via the
integrated IIP framework is able to fully explain the changes in stock position
resulting from financial account transactions, revaluations (separately
identifying price and exchange rate changes) and other changes in volume of
assets and liabilities, as well as consistent statistics for the Financial Account
(FA) of BOP, IIP, EDS and IBS. Data are of intrinsic value in themselves, and to
support the assessment of the various measures included in the integrated IIP
that facilitate the analysis on factors affecting the movement of the investment
position of the country.
