Notice

From 20 October 2026, the Statistics series of Banca d'Italia will move to the Statistics Portal. Reports can be found in the Updates section. To ease the transition, until 31 December 2026 new reports will be available both here as PDFs and on the Portal as interactive HTML pages. Previous editions will remain available on this page.

The Balance of Payments and International Investment Position report, updated monthly on the Statistics Portal, provides statistics on transactions between residents and non-residents, broken down into the following items:

current account, which includes statistics on exports and imports of goods and services as well as primary and secondary income;

capital account, covering transactions in non-produced non-financial assets and capital transfers;

financial account, which includes direct investment, portfolio investment, financial derivatives, other investment and changes in official reserves.

The report also includes quarterly statistics on Italy's international investment position and external debt, and monthly price competitiveness indicators calculated on the basis of the producer prices of manufactures. Exchange rates of the euro against the leading currencies are available only in the Statistical Database (BDS), in daily series updated monthly.

Time series data are available in the Statistical Database (BDS) section of the website. Further details are available in Methods and Sources: Methodological Notes and in Italy's balance of payments and international investment position manual (only in Italian).
