Following publication on 23 February 2015 of the historic 'Income and Capital' Sector Accounts and 'Balance of Payments' pre-1997 data on a European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) basis, ONS is today publishing the 'Financial Account' pre-1997 data on an ESA 2010 basis.

Balance of Payments pre-1997 will be updated and brought in line with the Sector Accounts at the same time as the next Balance of Payments publication, 2015 Q1, on 30 June 2015.
