EconoMonitor's United Kingdom series come from the Bank of England and the Office for National Statistics (ONS), monthly or quarterly from January 2006. The Prudential Regulation Authority does not publish banks' regulatory returns centrally, so there is no bank-by-bank UK data yet.
Sources
- Bank of England Database: Bank Rate, nominal par gilt yields, lending to individuals, consumer credit, secured lending, lending to private non-financial corporations and household M4.
- Office for National Statistics: real GDP, monthly gross value added, CPI, CPIH and the unemployment rate.
