Corrections
08 July 2025
We have corrected an error that meant that low level quarterly data within this output were incorrect for the period 1997-2019 for current price (CP) data with annual data unaffected. This does not impact on the total trade aggregate series and has no impact on total GDP. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
13 October 2025
We have corrected an error in tabs 3-8 of this dataset, affecting only the values for services exports to EU and non-EU in 2024 and 2025. There is no impact on total services export or import values. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Notices
30 September 2025
Improvements to recording trade in precious metals have been implemented in this publication; however, because of a processing error these have not been fully applied - further details, including indicative impacts on estimates, are provided in our Balance of Payments release.
Estimates of total GDP are not affected. We apologise for this processing error.
30 June 2026
We have identified and corrected a processing error in International Trade in Services survey data that fed into previously published versions of this dataset. The corrected data has been incorporated alongside scheduled revisions to other Trade in Services inputs. In combination, these changes affect seasonally adjusted total Trade in Services estimates by less than 1% in all quarters of 2025. The error on its own had no impact on GDP growth rates to one decimal place.
The cause of the error was an incorrect file input to the processing system; we have now reviewed the data flow to improve this part of the processing and have implemented additional checks.
