1. Use of statistical BRs
Widespread:
For grossing up survey results, survey editing &
imputation, for data tabulation and as a source for R&D
statistics
Rarely used:
For production of data on business demography,
for deriving economic statistics

Slide 3
1. Use of statistical BRs (continued)
Progress can be seen, albeit indirectly :
Gradual expansion of the list of recorded variables – i.e. the
date of cessation of activities, not recorded before, is mentioned
among the variables in six countries in 2008 Survey
Improved coverage and timeliness of various records – the
reference periods of reported data are more recent in the 2008
Survey
Actions/plans of implementing revised economic activity
classifications - the gradual approach in the implementation,
use of double recording and back-casting; collaboration with
other register-keepers

3. Activity coding (continued)
Implementing new economic activity classification:
Automatic recoding is expected to cover from 25%
to 35% of the statistical units, while the rest will be
recoded manually
Double coding for at least three years is foreseen
Intentions to coordinate introduction of the Revised
activity classification in the Single administrative
business registers and other administrative sources

4. Coverage of statistical units (continued)
In general:
Many countries have a good coverage of the
incorporated units
The coverage of small businesses and individual
entrepreneurs is rather insufficient
There are special registers for the agricultural sector
in some countries
Specific:
In Belarus, Moldova and the Russian Federation–
the legal unit is identical to the enterprise
In Armenia, Georgia and Moldova local units are
not yet included in the statistical BR

Slide 12
5. Enterprise groups – the new challenge
Enterprise groups (EGR) – be it allresident or multinational ones - are not
yet monitored for statistical BR purpose
•
Few exceptions as reported in the 2006 and 2008
UNECE Surveys by:
Kyrgyzstan
Russian Federation
Tajikistan

Slide 13
5. Enterprise groups – the new challenge
(continued)
Kyrgyzstan’s information refers to foreign-controlled
enterprises/legal units without explicit link to any EGR. It is
exclusively based on administrative sources. No entries in
the statistical BR.
The Russian Federation reports only on the overall number
of all-resident enterprise groups:
Total 44’219 EGRs incorporating 401’850 legal units (01.01.2007)
Few basic variables are recorded in statistical BR
Main source: Single administrative Business register
Multinational EGRs to be included starting 2009
Tajikistan’s statistical BR contains some information on the
multinational EGRs sourced from both administrative
sources and statistical surveys.

5. Enterprise groups – the new challenge
(continued)
Harmonising methodological approaches with
those accepted internationally is the way ahead
Countries should look for best practices on:
profiling of large and complex enterprises
delineation of enterprise groups
reviewing principal and secondary activity coding
cooperation with central banks, commercial data providers,
etc.
