Surveys on industrial production and real estate start
The Census and Statistics Department today (Thursday) announced the commencement of the Survey of Industrial Production and the Survey of Building, Construction and Real Estate Sectors for 1995.
These annual surveys are part of a continuous programme to compile statistics on the structure and performance of various economic activities in Hong Kong.
They aim to obtain up-to-date statistical data for evaluating the contribution of the relevant economic activities to Hong Kong's gross domestic product and for ascertaining their cost structure, operating characteristics and output levels.
The survey results are useful to both the government and the private sector in formulating policies and making decisions.
The Commissioner for Census and Statistics, Mr Frederick Ho, appealed to the managements of all sampled establishments to fulfil their legal and social responsibilities by returning promptly the completed questionnaires and co-operating with officers of the department in the course of the surveys.
He stressed that information pertaining to individual establishments would be treated in strict confidence under the Census and Statistics Ordinance. Only aggregated information, which does not reveal details of individual establishments, will be released.
Mr Ho also pointed out that audited accounts were not essential for the supply of income and expenditure data required in the surveys.
