Beginning in calendar year 1996 and fiscal year 1996 (started April 1, 1996), the Japanese government implemented several changes in its statistics-reporting practices:

• Balance of payments restructured. New reporting methodologies and classifications provide a much clearer picture of Japan's capital flows and much greater information about its services trade (see JEI Report No. 20B, May 24, 1996). Unfortunately, it is impossible to compare earlier balance of payments data with the current set of statistics. This year's statistical profile uses the new reporting format introduced in JEI Report No. 46A, December 11, 1998 (Table 1), but presents the old format as well where possible (Table 2).
• Data reported only in yen. Before 1996, balance of payments data were reported only in dollars and no exchange-rate information was provided. Trade statistics were reported in both yen and dollar terms, with the exchange rate calculated and reported separately for exports and imports. With dollar-based figures and trade-based exchange rate information no longer available, all yen figures from 1996 onward have been translated into dollars using the appropriate period-average exchange rate on the Tokyo market as reported to the International Monetary Fund (Tables 7 and 8).
