Britain to publish new weekly consumer spending data
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s statistics office said it would publish new weekly consumer spending data from Thursday, based on credit and debit card payments information collected by the Bank of England.
The figures come from Britain’s CHAPS high-value payments data and cover the proceeds of recent credit and debit card payments made by payments processors to around 100 major retailers.
The ONS said the figures would provide greater insight into spending on social activities and other consumer services that are not captured by its monthly retail sales data.
