Correction

10 February 2016, 11:00am

On 9 February 2016, an error was identified in the trade in services section of the bulletin. Firstly, in the quarterly analysis section, figures quoted explaining the largest contributors to the services surplus reflected the change in surplus rather than the surplus level. The text has now been edited to remove any confusion. The same error occurred in the annual analysis section; we have removed text relating to the largest contributors to the annual surplus for the same reason. We apologise for any inconvenience, if you require further assistance please contact [email protected].
