[f] Building societies' statistical reporting transferred from the FSA to the Bank of England on 1 January 2008. A more detailed breakdown of building societies' deposits has since been used to update the estimates of M1, M2 and M3, bringing them in line with those for banks. That has led to a £79bn rise in overnight deposits (VWYD), a £56bn fall in deposits redeemable at notice up to 3 months (VWYG), and a £38bn rise in M3. The effects of this change have been removed from the flows data. (31 Jan 2008)
