Description |
Industry activities contribute substantially to the Gross Domestic Product in the Palestinian economy. PCBS initiated, starting from the reference year 1994, the economic surveys series. It includes, in addition to the industry survey, surveys on construction-contractors, services, internal trade, and transport and storage sectors. The sampling frame for the different economic surveys was based basically on the findings of The 1994 Establishment Census conducted by PCBS. The establishment/enterprises register resulted from this census was updated through data collected from administrative records of some relevant institutions, which reported the newly established enterprises in both 1995 and 1996. A field survey was also conducted to check and get full data needed for the register purposes, in regard of these new enterprises. |
