The Bank of England carries out an annual update of the sterling exchange rate index weights. The sterling exchange rate index (ERI) is a measure of the overall change in the trade-weighted exchange value of sterling, calculated by weighting together bilateral exchange rates. It is designed to measure changes in the price competitiveness of traded goods and services, and so the weights reflect trade flows in manufactured goods and services.
As announced on 11 February 2022, the Bank has now completed the regular annual update of the sterling exchange rate index weights. The new set of weights took effect from 9 March 2022 and incorporates revisions from 2016 onwards. -
The Bank of England carries out and publishes results of a survey on the turnover in the markets for foreign exchange and over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate derivatives every three years.

Data quality
Statistical Code of Practice
The Statistical Code of Practice sets out our standards for the collection, compilation and dissemination of monetary, financial and regulatory data. These standards are similar to the ones used by the UK Statistics Authority.
Data Quality Framework
Definitions of statistical data quality are maintained by international bodies such as the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe and the European Statistical System. The Data Quality Framework (2014) describes how we interprets statistical data quality concepts in our published statistics.
Cost benefit analysis
In 2005-06 we looked at the balance of costs between reviewing existing statistical outputs regularly and assessing new statistics. We wanted to create more considered assessments but had to balance that with the reporter’s compliance costs. Our approach is explained in the Cost-benefit analysis of monetary and financial statistics (2006). The principle of assessing the balance between costs and benefit when we produce statistics still applies.
What does the Bank of England do also contains useful information about how our data is used.
