MNI: UK Stats Office Makes Correction To Recent PPI Data

MNI (London)
--ONS Corrects Output Data for the Dec 2017 to April 2018 Period
     LONDON (MNI) - The UK's Office for National Statistics said Friday it had
identified an error in the latest Output Producer Prices publication.
     In an operational notice, they said the error was "in 'Rubber & Plastic
Products' within 'Other Manufactured Products' in Output Producer Prices."
     According to the ONS, the indicative impact of this error is that it
"increased the (published) Output Producer Prices annual rate by 0.3 percentage
points, on average, for December 2017 to April 2018." 
     The stats office said the corrected figures will be published in full in
the scheduled Producer Prices release on 13 June. Previous Producer Prices
releases are unaffected by this error, they said.
