The release date has been changed

Previous date:: 31 July 2024 9:30am
Reason for change:: The UK National Accounts, The Blue Book 2024 scheduled for 31 July 2024 has now been moved to the more usual timetable of 31 October 2024 to allow us further time to update the base year from 2019 to 2022 and assure the quality of this granular data. As a result, The UK National Accounts, The Blue Book 2024 and UK Balance of Payments, The Pink Book: 2024 will now be published on 31 October 2024 rather than 31 July 2024. This means Blue Book 2024 consistent data will be included for the first time in the GDP quarterly national accounts, UK: April to June 2024 30 September 2024 publication. Additionally, a new publication, which focuses on Blue Book aggregates up to the end of 2022 will be published at 07:00 on 7th August 2024. The revision period for the June 2024 quarterly national accounts will now be for Quarter 1 2024 only, in line with our standard National Accounts revisions policy.
