Thank you for your request.

Data relating to Gross Domestic Product and its components are published in the UK Quarterly National Accounts. Data relating to sectors of the UK economy can be found in the Quarterly Sector Accounts. Annex A contains data from the Quarterly Sector Accounts showing the UK’s gross operating balance, net lending/borrowing position, social benefits, social contributions and tax revenue for the periods requested.

You also requested data for the UK’s net operating balance and primary net lending/borrowing position. These are not published as part of the UK’s national accounts. The UK Public Sector Finances publication provides information on the UK’s general government accounts which may contain the information to enable you to form these series.

The second set of data relate to labour market indicators. I am afraid we are unsure of the codes provided, however in terms of employment and hours worked, these can be found in the UK Labour Market release. The UK also provide data to the Eurostat - the statistical body of the European Union - figures published on the Eurostat website should be consistent with IMF definitions.
