In the balance: Identifying differences between UK and EU trade figures There is continuing interest in the apparent disparities between the UK's official statistics on trade and those produced by the European Union (EU), which have increased since the end of the Brexit transition period. The ONS is working hard to identify and resolve these issues. In this blog Matt Hughes explains how a fundamental accounting difference appears to be the major factor. The Office for National Statistics produces the numbers that matter most– on the economy and business, people, population and communities. Operating impartially and free of political control, we are mobilising the power of data to help Britain make better decisions and improve lives.
