Classifications
Kazakhstan
19-21 March 2013, Chisinau,
Moldova
What classification of activities and products
you are currently using
• Developed on the basis of NACE rev. 2:
– National Common Classification of Economic Activity of the Republic of
Kazakhstan (NCEA) at the 4-digits level,
– Departmental Nomenclature of Economic Activities (NCEA 5-digits) - an
enhanced version of NACE rev.2 at the 5-digits level
• Developed on the base of CPA 2008:
– national classification of products by economic activity of the Republic of
Kazakhstan (CPA) at the 6-digits level,
– departmental statistical classification of products by sectors of agriculture,
industry, construction, services at the 9-digits level
• Developed on the basis of COICOP an enhanced version at the 8-digits
level
– Nomenclature of commodity items to COICOP
Currently occurring revisions
• The State Standard Organisation of the Republic of Kazakhstan
approved a new version of the NCEA (NACE rev. 2) in 2007 and the
new version of CPEA (CPA 2008) in 2008
• New versions of the NCEA and CPEA have been used in statistical
production as of 1 January 2009
• In 2012, as part of implementation of the SNA 2008 were
developed and approved the following classifications :
–
–
–
–
Classification of financial assets
Classification of nonfinancial assets
Classification of functions of the Government
Classification of the purposes of non-profit institutions serving
households, etc.
Status of implementation
• In 2009, on the basis of NACE rev. 2, CPA 2008 developed in
different fields of statistics (activities at the 5-digit level, products –
at 9-digits)
• In 2009, data collection forms for year 2010 were changed to take
into account the new versions of classifications
• Since 1 January 2010, statistical data is collected in sectoral
statistics, structural statistics and national accounts using new
versions of NCEA and CPA
• Since 1 January 2010, statistical information published is based on
the new versions of NACE and CPA
• Time series for 1998-2009 was recalculated in 2011-2012,
recalculation of time series for 1990-1997 is planned for 2013
Specific questions raised in connection with
the classification by activities
• Clarifications on the differences of classes 64.20 "Activities of
holding companies" and 70.10 "Activities of head offices“ is
needed
• The absence of an explanation for each subtype of CPA 2008
classification raises questions while classifying products
• For example, the production of alcohol from edible raw
material with alcohol concentration over 80% was in the old
CPA included in food industry, but the CPA 2008 includes
these products in chemical industry (code 20.14.74)
• As a result, all factories for the production of alimentary
alcohol were moved from food industry to chemical industry
Time series issues
• For how many years do you usually recalculate data back in
the new classification, for :
– short-term statistics for 1990-2009
• Which methods do you use to calculate the previous years in
the new classification, for:
– Business registers: a double-coding (both old and new codes) based on
conversion tables and surveys
– In structural business statistics, short-term statistics and national
accounts recalculation is done based on micro-data or conversion on
the basis of coefficients
Other issues
• The absence of Russian translations of the majority of
international classifications complicates introduction of
classifications
