 An international comparison of gross fixed capital formation

The UK saw the largest proportional fall in the level of gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) of any G7 nation after the pre-financial crisis peak of Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2008, falling by 18.0% from peak-to-trough; it has since recovered to a similar level seen before the financial crisis.

Between Quarter 1 1997 and Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2017, the UK had the lowest average value of GFCF as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) of any Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nation.

The UK has the lowest average non-government sector investment of any G7 nation as a percentage of GDP, along with the second lowest average government sector investment as a percentage of GDP.

Crime – how worried should we be about the latest figures?

Since ONS released its latest statistics there's been much talk of a '13% increase in crime'. But that number only reflects crimes recorded by the police. To understand trends in crime we need to look at a range of crime types and sources. Visit our blog to read what Iain Bell, Deputy National Statistician for Population and Public Policy, has to say.
