Data-collection strategy

The aim of the industrial statistics programme is to obtain comprehensive and accurate statistical information on the industrial activity within the economy. This information may be obtained either through the statistical surveys or through institutional links with the data sets available elsewhere, in administrative sources. Generally, a mix of the two sources is used for the collection of industrial statistics. The extent of the use of one source rather than the other depends upon the statistical system of a particular country. Countries with a developed statistical system make progressively more use of administrative sources for coverage of industrial activities.
