All The Important Economic Numbers - March 2022

The Economic Times will update these numbers monthly. Some data is only collated four times a year – as in Q1 (Jan/Feb/March) or Q4 (Oct/Nov/Dec). Some numbers are seasonal or affected by other factors – for instance – the amount of revenue HMRC takes in January (when personal tax bills must be made for the previous year and Christmas VAT revenue increases) is much higher than the previous 11 months).
