OVERVIEW
Table B3.2 contains selected annual profit and loss data of Monetary and Financial Institutions (MFIs) operating in the UK that feed into the UK national accounts. It comprises data series on interest, fees and commissions, dividends, trading income, other operating income and expenses and provisions. These data are unconsolidated and cover only the UK based operations of the MFI. As such they differ from the institutions' own published accounts that will comprise the global activity of the group as a whole. For this reason and some definitional variations needed for the national accounts, information contained in this table is frequently very different from that published in the institutions' own published accounts and direct comparison should not be attempted.
AVAILABILITY
Data are available from 2004. Publication of annual data for the preceding year will usually occur on the 21st working day of the June in Table B3.2 in Monetary and Financial Statistics (Bankstats). The annual dataset will be updated on a quarterly basis to ensure consistency with that provided for use in the UK national accounts.
Following the transition of building societies statistical reporting from the FSA to the Bank of England on 1st January 2008, all figures in Table B3.2 include building society data from 2008 data onwards.
SOURCES
Data are derived from the Form PL. This form is reported by approximately 120 of the largest MFIs on a quarterly basis, and a further 120 smaller MFIs on an annual basis. There is around 98% coverage from banks reporting at least annually, based on gross assets/liabilities as reported quarterly on Form BT. Coverage from quarterly data is around 92% with estimates derived for the other banks.
Building society data reported on Form PL are included from 2008 Q1, with coverage similar to that for banks. Estimates are derived for other building societies.
REVISIONS
All data are subject to revision if and when new information becomes available. For more information on revisions practices see the Explanatory Note on revisions, available here.

Other transfers: comprise all transfers affecting post-tax profit that are not included elsewhere on the Form PL.

Building societies are included with effect from 2008 Q1.
From Q2 2009 data on banks and building societies' covered bond entities are included on a consolidated basis.
From Q1 2010 data on banks' and building societies' securitisation special purpose entities are included on a consolidated basis.
