As part of the GDP first quarterly estimate (FQE) and quarterly national accounts (QNA) releases, a number of datasets are produced. Currently, both the GDP revision triangles and real time databases are produced in both estimates. These datasets aim to provide an indication of the accuracy of the data and shows revisions throughout its timeseries. However, in a FQE, in line with the National Accounts Revision Policy, there are not normally revisions to time series at this stage and as such, these datasets will not be produced during FQE in the future. The datasets will be continued to be published during QNA and any other GDP estimate where there are revisions to timeseries.
