BOP:IM:price index:NSA:Total trade in goods less oil and erratics

A small error in the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price indices occurred in the UK Trade: March 2018 publication tables and related time series dataset due to a processing error. The error impacted the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price index (series ELBA) for the period January 2018 to March 2018 in Table 3, the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price index growth rate in Table 4 and the trade in goods excluding oil and erratics import price indices for EU and non-EU (series SHCM and SHEB) in Table 6.

This had no impact on any other series or commentary in the UK trade: March 2018 publication.

The price series have now been corrected and ONS apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused.

You can see all previous versions of this data on the previous versions page.

The monthly and annual price indices and terms of trade series of the UK trade dataset have been corrected to make them consistent with the quarterly series for the years from 1998 to 2012. These monthly and annual series were not updated when corrected price indices were published on 9 August 2016. We apologise for any inconvenience.
