Economic data & tools
The list below show those individuals who receive access in advance of publication for briefing purposes to the monthly press release of UK official holdings of international reserves. These are regarded as market sensitive statistics, and pre-release access arrangements are in line with the provisions of the protocol on release practices for such statistics. In particular pre-release access is allowed no earlier that 40.5 hours (counting working days only) prior to release of the data at 9.30 am..
As well as the people on this list, who receive pre-release access to data for briefing purposes, there are a number of people in Treasury and in the Bank of England who will have pre-release access to official reserves data because they are involved in compilation of the data, or for quality assurance purposes, or for other operational reasons, including placing the data on the website. An audit trail is maintained of all those who have pre-release access to the data, and for what purpose. This is available on request.
