Reasons for Change • Heavily reliant on Excel – complicated structure • Rigidity of Dimensions • Methodological anomalies
Integration of OCEA Outputs • IO GVA feeding into GDP weights • Use of Global Connections Survey 2002 • GERS / Input-Output tax integration
Changes in the New System • Producing a Combined Use matrix • Balancing at Purchasers’ Prices • Manual Balancing – more focussed • Less Reliance on RAS
Changes in the New IO System • More Efficient IT system • Flexible System • Tax and Margins System rewritten
Current Position • New System is written • Initial Testing has been done • System to produce symmetric tables • 2003 raw data almost complete • Begin producing 2003 in earnest
Future developments • Tailor-made responses to queries • Adjust the dimensions of the IO tables to reflect changes in the economy
Future Developments • Work will begin on a detailed revisions policy for Input-Output • Production of Consistent Time Series of Input-Output tables.
