The net rate of return on capital employed for UK private non-financial corporations related to their UK operations.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) assesses bodies and transactions against international rules to decide how they should be treated in the UK National Accounts. A small secretariat team gather and analyse the information required to enable the Economic Statistics Classifications Committee (ESCC) to reach a decision on the appropriate accounting treatment. There is high demand for assessments as well as a considerable volume of ad-hoc requests for advice on policy proposals and other issues. Meanwhile, the secretariat are initiating improvements to products such as the classifications information on our website and the Public Sector Classifications Guide. This update lists the cases that we expect to assess in 2016. These cases have been prioritised on the basis of the impact they will have on main statistics (an impact of at least £1 billion on the government deficit or £10 billion on government debt), their importance to public policy, and their priority for Eurostat (the statistical body of the European Union, which oversees member states' compliance with the European System of Accounts and other rules under which the UK statistics are produced). However, this list does not include other cases with smaller impacts which may be assessed in this period.
Annual estimates of the value and types of non-financial assets used in the production of goods or services within the UK economy and their loss in value over time.
The main economic stories from National Statistics produced over the latest month, painting a coherent picture of the UK economic performance using recent economic data.
In examining how material living standards change over time, household income and consumption/expenditure have been highlighted as particularly important measures (for example OECD, 2013, ONS, 2014, Stiglitz et al., 2009). As part of an OECD Expert Group, ONS have been carrying out a research exercise to produce distributional household income and consumption data within the System of National Accounts framework. The purpose of this article is to share the initial methodology and results for the UK and to seek feedback from potential users both on the methodology used and the usefulness of the exercise as a whole.
