Background
Business and industrial statistics are fundamental to understanding the structure, performance, and dynamics of an economy’s productive sectors. They provide detailed insights into the activities of various industries, such as manufacturing, construction, and services. Key indicators derived from this domain—including production indices, turnover, value added, and employment levels—serve as primary inputs for calculating the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and monitoring short-term economic trends. Furthermore, statistics on business demography, such as the creation of new enterprises and the closure of existing ones, are vital for assessing entrepreneurial activity, economic dynamism, and the overall business environment.
Objectives
- To produce and publish regular, high-quality indicators on the performance and evolution of key business and industrial sectors.
- To develop and maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date statistical business register to serve as the backbone for all business surveys and economic censuses.
- To provide detailed and reliable data on the structure of industries, enabling in-depth sectoral analysis and evidence-based policymaking.
- To track business demography to better understand economic dynamism, the contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and factors influencing business survival and growth.
