The harmonised European revision policy envisaged a so-called benchmark revision for 2024. This revision allowed new information to be included over the entire period of the statistics. The focus was particularly on the consistent implementation in the balance of payments, international investment position, financial accounts and national accounts. The 2024 benchmark revision led to revisions to the international investment position due to:

1. The inclusion of adjusted balance of payments data
   see: Revisions to Balance of Payments
2. The adoption of new data sources that particularly in the case of securities claims led to higher holdings for the investment funds holding sector.
