Input-output supply and use tables – summary tables: 2026
ONS provides updated UK input-output supply and use tables summary estimates, covering industry inputs/outputs, product supply/demand, and gross value added (GVA) for 1997 to 2024.
The Office for National Statistics has published “Input-output supply and use tables – summary tables: 2026”. The release provides estimates of industry inputs and outputs, product supply and demand, and gross value added (GVA) for the UK, with supply and use tables covering the period from 1997 to 2024.
In practical terms, input-output tables map how output from one industry becomes an input into others. That is useful for understanding which parts of the economy are driving production and value creation, and how shocks to demand or costs can propagate through supply chains—particularly relevant when interpreting broader data on inflation and growth.
While this publication is unlikely to be a day-to-day driver of sterling rates on its own, it adds to the toolkit for assessing the structural composition of the UK economy and the evolution of sector linkages up to the latest year in the table range. Traders watching UK macro should consider how later ONS releases and any related revisions might use these tables to refine sectoral estimates and measures that feed into broader economic indicators.
The next step for market participants is to see how this updated information is referenced in subsequent ONS statistics and whether it informs revised narratives around productivity, demand sources and cost transmission within the UK economy.
Why this matters for FX
Input-output supply and use tables help explain how different parts of the economy connect—industries’ inputs, outputs and the composition of gross value added. For FX traders, this can improve understanding of sectoral drivers of growth, inflationary pressure and productivity over time (even when they do not change policy directly on the release day), and it can matter for how inflation and activity might evolve across supply chains in the UK and relative to trading partners.
