The UK Enhanced Financial Accounts: changes to defined contribution pension fund estimates in the national accounts; part 2 - the data
Summary
Presents new estimates for household entitlements in DC pension funds, which is part of the UK National Accounts series AF.63 within AF.6M in Table 6.1.9. Considers the impact of the new estimates on D.6141 (investment income). As this is an experimental Flow of Funds article, it does not show the impact of the changes on the sequence of accounts, including the household saving ratio; this will be shown as part of the series of articles accompanying Blue Book 2017 later in the year. This article follows the 16 January 2017 article (Part 1), presenting the method changes.
