Recent extensions to the quarterly estimates of national income now make it possible to present quarterly sector financing accounts on broadly similar lines to the annual accounts published in this Bulletin in September 1963 and June 1964. A set of tables, together with notes on sources and definitions, appears at the end of this analysis. These start with the first quarter of 1963, the first period for which many of the new quarterly financial statistics were compiled, and are complete, within the limits of the information available, up to the third quarter of 1964. No national income data and only incomplete financial data are as yet available for the fourth quarter of 1964, with which this analysis is mainly concerned.
