ONS plans for the 2001 and 2002 Blue and Pink Books and Supply & Use Tables
Key developments and changes; the publishing schedule and current plans; an indication of the development programme planned for the National Accounts and Balance of Payments.
The United Kingdom National Accounts and Balance of Payments are under continuous development. The majority of the programme to implement the European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95) is now complete, including the framework, new terminology and treatment of new concepts. However, the timetable for the implementation of the remainder of ESA95 extends to 2005. In addition a number of other significant changes and data revisions will be implemented in this year's Blue Book arising from the development of new methodology; new classifications; and new and enhanced data sources.
As part of our policy to inform users about forthcoming changes to the National Accounts and Balance of Payments, we have for the past few years published articles describing developments planned for subsequent Blue Books, Pink Books and related publications such as Input-Output Supply and Use Tables. This article updates the plans described in the March 2000 article, and provides new information on other developments for both 2001 and 2002.
The first part of this article describes the key developments and changes which are being taken on for 2001, including the background or reasons behind the changes and in some cases an indication of their impact on the accounts. The article then continues to give some brief information on the publishing schedule for 2001 and our current plans for 2002.
