The confidentiality attribute is applied in accordance with the dissemination policy adopted by the Statistics Department of Banco de Portugal. The high level of cross dimensions requested in the reports in combination with the dimension of international transactions of the Portuguese economy implies that a significant share of the data is considered as non-publishable (i.e flag N). Furthermore, given the fact that 2014 was the first year of BPM6 and, for Portugal, it was also the first year with a totally new collecting system, a more careful approach was adopted in this context. Despite this, we would like to mention that there is an ongoing procedure to reassess the confidentiality status of the external statistics data produced by Banco de Portugal in order to cope with the increasing users´ requests for data on these domains.
