The main economic stories from National Statistics produced over the latest month, painting a coherent picture of the UK economic performance using recent economic data.
We analyse how UK households have experienced an increase in the cost of living, caused by rising prices since the 2008 economic downturn. This is measured using the Household and Non-Profit Institutions Serving Households (NPISH) saving ratio, an estimate of the amount of money households have available to save as a percentage of their total disposable income.
The ONS assesses bodies and transactions against international rules to decide how they should be treated in the National Accounts. A small secretariat team gather and analyse the information required to enable the National Accounts Classifications Committee (NACC) to reach a decision on the appropriate accounting treatment. There is high demand for assessments as well as a considerable volume of ad-hoc requests for advice on policy proposals and other issues. Meanwhile, the secretariat are initiating improvements to products such as the classifications information on the ONS website and the Public Sector Classifications Guide. This update lists the cases that ONS expects to assess in the coming year (Q3 2015 to Q2 2016). These cases have been prioritised on the basis of the impact they will have on key statistics (an impact of at least £1bn on the government deficit or £10bn on government debt), their importance to public policy, and their priority for Eurostat (the statistical body of the European Union, which oversees member states' compliance with the European System of Accounts and other rules under which the UK statistics are produced). However, this list does not include other cases with smaller impacts which may be assessed in this period.
