II.1.4) Short description
The annual survey of goods and services (ASGS) meets the recommendations in Sir Charles Bean’s review. Detailed information is now captured outlining the variety of services provided by the UK services industries, showing a split of turnover generated inside and outside the UK. Survey outputs also highlight the diversification of businesses operating within the service industries, by collecting information about products a business produces inside and outside its main industrial classification or activity. Overall, the Annual Survey of Goods and Services has contributed to improving the quality of product breakdowns in the Supply-Use tables, and in turn the quality of balancing and gross domestic product (GDP), as well as improving the weights and sample for the service producer prices index (SPPI).
