- Notes
- DCS compiles this; read from the CBSL workbook because the DCS release is PDF only (machine-readability override). The 2025 annual row of the CBSL quarterly workbook reads 8,408.0, but the four 2025 quarters average 8,554.1, which is what Economic and Social Statistics publishes. The workbook's annual row was not refreshed when Q4 was appended, so the ESS copy is canonical for this series.
