From
January 2017, the ONS will start to publish data on
construction, industrial production, trade and possibly services
on the same day.
"This will allow (the) ONS to present a more coherent and
consistent picture of UK economic activity, thereby better
supporting public discussion about the UK economy," it said in a
statement.
Under the new schedule, the release of construction output will
be brought forward by between one and seven days while the
publication of trade data will either be unchanged or brought
forward or delayed by one day.
The ONS said it was still considering whether to release data on
the services sector alongside the construction, industrial
production and trade figures or whether to keep it on the same
day as balance of payments.
