For Japan, detailed balance of payments (monthly and quarterly) and gross external debt.
The BOP is a statistical statement that systematically summarizes, for a specific time period, the economic transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. The transactions between residents and nonresidents consist of: (1) those involving goods, services, and income, (2) those involving financial claims and liabilities, and (3) those classified as transfers. A transaction itself is defined as an economic flow that reflects the creation, transformation, exchange, transfer, or extinction of economic value and involves changes in ownership of goods and/or financial assets, the provision of services, or the provision of labor and capital.
The external debt statistics show the current state of Japan's liabilities with respect to other countries, with a breakdown by sector. Data are also broken down by short-term and long-term on an original maturity basis and also by instrument.

On March 10, 2014, the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan started with the release of new balance of payments related statistics conforming with the sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6) and at the same time released historical time series data consistent with the new statistics (referred to as "rearranged data" hereafter). The latest data release is according to BPM6. It starts at 2014Q1. Additional BOP details and country breakdowns are available from the source. You may also refer to the monthly Balance of Payments data for further details (see catalog).
Japans international investment position is based on a year end report. therefore external debt is estimated at quarterly frequency using reports with end of quarter data, the existing international investment position data balance of payments data, and factors in market value. For compatibility purposes this data is compiled based on the IMF's Balance of Paymnets Manual (Sixth Edition).
Current balance =
market value of previous period-end balance of yen-denominated holdings
+ market value of previous period-end balance of foreign currencydenominated holdings (in yen)
+ market value of yen-denominated flow
+ market value of foreign currency-denominated flow (in yen)
Calculating Component:
Major current account items have seasonally adjusted data and the seasonal adjustment factors using the U.S. Census Bureau's X-12-ARIMA method are disseminated.
Only the revised data for the end of calendar year are not estimates. This data is equal to those of the international investment position compiled annually and based on year-end reports.
