This is the latest in a series of quarterly updates, for users of Welsh statistics, on our latest developments, consultations and plans.

A full list of our most recent publications can be found on our upcoming calendar.

Economy and labour market

We have continued to update key economic statistics monthly. In January, we published updated statistics on quarterly labour market data from the Annual Population Survey, short term output indicators, business demography and regional economic and labour market profiles. In February we published an update to gross domestic product (GDP).

The GDP estimate is the third produced from the Office for National Statistics’ new experimental series. We are continuing to gather views on whether there is a need for both GDP and short term output indicators (STOI). GDP is conceptually similar to STOI. If you use either of these sources we would like to hear from you. Specifically:

• How do you use the statistics?
• How important are they to you?
• Are there examples where you use STOI but wouldn’t be comfortable using GDP?
