[a] The sharp movement in the services balance beginning in 1993 is due largely to significant upward revisions in estimated earnings from tourism and from value added by the maquila sector. Since the revised methodology has not yet been applied to pre
-1993 data, the figures for these years are not comparable to those for 1993-95.
[b] The large jump in private transfers beginning in 1993 is due to better monitoring of these flows.
[c] Includes short-term, IMF, and interest arrears; excludes other Central Bank.
[d] Accrual basis, after rescheduling; includes interest but not amortization of short-term debt.
[e] Fiscal data for 1993 include only the four largest parastatals.
