Tables B4 and B1

A production error has been discovered in the 1987 to 1996 seasonally adjusted quarterly data for investment income. The revisions are for time periods earlier than those shown in the UKEA tables, but the most recent years' data for the affected timeseries are shown in tables B4 and B1. Also affected are the 1987 to 1996 quarterly data for the current account balance, the current account balance as a percentage of GDP, and the income balance as a percentage of GDP. The annual data are not affected by this error.

The affected series in table B4 are:

The affected series in table B1 are:

A production error has also been discovered in the 1987 to 1996 annual data for balances in the current account as percentages of GDP. The revisions are for time periods earlier than those shown in the UKEA tables, but the most recent years' data for the affected timeseries are shown in table B1. The quarterly data are not affected by this error.

The affected series in table B1 are:

D28J, D28K, D28L, D28M, AA6H.

No other series are affected and these errors have now been corrected.

Geographical breakdown

As previously notified, the balance of payments geographical breakdowns of the current account prior to 2010q1 were not updated when this dataset was published on 28 June 2012. At that point they had not yet been revised in line with revisions to the main balance of payments dataset. This work has now been completed and the data have now been revised in this dataset. The revisions are for time periods earlier than those shown in the UKEA tables, but the most recent years' data for the revised timeseries are shown in tables B6, B6A, B6B and B6C.

For further information on tables B4, B1, B6, B6A, B6B and B6C contact: bop@ons.gsi.gov.uk

ONS apologise for any inconvenience.
