Our economic statistics are produced in accordance with international rules and guidance. Central to this are the legally binding rules set forth in the European System of Accounts 2010 (ESA 2010) and accompanying Manual on Government Deficit and Debt (MGDD). These include rules on classifying statistical units (organisations or bodies) and the transactions they engage in. A summary of these, and our approach to their application, can be found on our economic statistics classification page.
Our digital team regularly write about our approach and progress to the website and social media.
National Statistical is our corporate blog. It's the place to find insight into the role data plays in the decisions affecting our lives, the changes we are making to take advantage of it and the ways we keep it secure.
