Public sector finances tables: August 2022

Details

The public sector finances statistical bulletin is published jointly by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and HM Treasury on a monthly basis and provides the latest available estimates for key public sector finance statistics, such as public sector net borrowing, public sector net debt and public sector current budget deficit/surplus.

The bulletin is structured with the latest headline figures, revisions and information on recent events and/or methodological changes which impact on the statistics, located at the front of the bulletin.

Following this there is some contextual information for users and then more detailed information on each of the key aggregates. Historic data on public sector net debt and public sector net borrowing have been included to put the latest figures in context. More detailed notes on the publication are located towards the end of the bulletin.

ONS have corrected an error in their estimates of Public Sector Net Borrowing in 2020-21 in Table 8.

The previous version contained incorrect data for local government. The previous, incorrect amount for local government net borrowing was a surplus of 0.9 billion. It should have been a surplus of 2.4 billion. Public Sector Net Borrowing (excluding Public Sector Banks) was therefore overstated by 1.5 billion (or 0.5%) in this period: PSNB ex was previously reported as 314.3 billion, but has now been corrected to 312.8 billion. No other time periods were affected.

The public sector data for 2020-21 presented in Table 14 have also been corrected. In addition, the amounts for the 2020-21 in in Figure 1, Figure 5 and Figure 6 have been corrected. No other time periods were affected.

This happened because of a data processing error.

HM Treasury is no longer producing the public sector finances databank. For information on the key fiscal aggregates:

Go to the OBR for outturn and projected numbers for the key fiscal aggregates in financial years.

Go to the ONS for outturn data of the key fiscal aggregates in quarters, financial years and on a monthly basis.
