News release
We are changing the publication dates of the Decision Maker Panel (DMP) and Agents’ summary of business conditions (ASBC) so that they no longer fall on the same day as publication of the Monetary Policy Report (MPR).
New publication timetable for the Decision Maker Panel
In MPR months, the DMP data will now be published on the Friday in the week before MPR publication. For other months, publication will move back one day from Thursday to Friday.
