2012 business establishments survey to roll out in May, says NSCB
The National Statistics Office will start conducting the 2012 Updating of the List of Establishments survey in May at a cost of P117 million, according to the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). “[The survey] aims to provide a register of establishments containing information which will be used to obtain an updated and reliable sampling frame for the census and survey of establishments and enterprises,” NSCB said in a statement. NSCB claimed that the survey will be “useful for economic and business planning and decision-making.” The new survey will introduce ‘disaggregation’ of businesses down to the barangay and industry sub-class levels. The NSCB gave the updating of list of establishments the green light in early March, and the survey questionnaires would be distributed on May 2 and collected on June 16. The preliminary and final results will be released in January and December 2013, respectively. The cost of updating the List of Establishments was estimated at P117 million, including personal services and maintenance and other operating expenses. The state-run statistics agency estimated government will spend P117 per establishment in the 2012 survey. The information to be collected from the establishments include:
- Business name
