ONS identified that the index values and growth rates for the Business Services and Finance sector within the Quarterly National Accounts publication were incorrect. These have now been amended. This correction affects tables B1, R, AA and AE and section 5 of the statistical bulletin.

The error did not impact any top-level data, so there is no impact on either GDP or Index of Services.

ONS apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused.

A small error occurred in the UK quarterly national accounts: October to December 2017 excel reference tables and associated time series due to a processing error. The error impacted 1997 growth rates in Table B1, and did not impact on any GDP growth rates quoted in the bulletin.

This index series has now been corrected and ONS apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused.
