Notice of revision, 11 June 2021
Minor amendments to the figures in this release were made on 11 June 2021 to the list of countries presented in Tables 8 and 10 in the “Exports of services by businesses in DCMS sectors and subsectors” Excel file. The country list for 2017 (Table 8) now includes the US Virgin Islands and the country list for 2019 (Table 10) now includes NAFTA. Previously these were erroneously excluded.
These amendments do not affect the Export of Services totals for individual sectors or subsectors, nor the key trends or conclusions for 2017 and 2019. All other years are unaffected.
