The original Committee on Invisible Exports, in its study Britain's invisible earnings (1967), published new estimates for a number of the items in the invisible account; these were based mainly on direct enquiries of financial institutions and other companies. The Committee recommended that some of these surveys should be continued at regular intervals to help improve the balance of payments statistics and to throw more light on the contribution made by invisible earners.
