DSIT Digital Sector Economic Estimates Consultation
Consultation description
This consultation seeks user feedback on the Digital Sector Economic Estimates, a branch of the Economic Estimates series recently transferred from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
DSIT are seeking to develop and improve the economic statistics we produce. In the immediate term, we wish to focus on fewer statistical releases, with an aim to improve their quality and resonance with users. In the longer term, we aim to develop additional statistical releases on the economic performance of DSIT’s sectors to meet the demands of our users.
This consultation seeks feedback on DSIT’s proposed plan to streamline the current series containing multiple economic metrics on the size of the digital sector. We intend to continue producing the annual Gross Value Added (GVA) and Employment (Calendar Year Data) releases but are considering ceasing production of the other releases. Feedback received through this consultation will be used to inform the scope and implementation of our plan.
