    Enterprise Survey [en/oth]
    Series Information

    In 1975, following a request from the Ministry of Industry, a unit was created within that Ministry to respond to its specific statistical needs, especially data for the monitoring of individual establishments. Data collection was done through the Quarterly survey of employment in the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) sector and enterprises having a Pioneer Status certificate (PSE). The first Economic and Social Indicator on EPZ and PSE sectors was published in 1985. Following the repeal of various industrial enactments in the Finance Act 2006, all industrial certificates including the export certificate (EPZ) lapsed on 1 October 2006. To have consistent data series on enterprises involved in manufacturing activities for export, in addition to enterprises formerly holding an EPZ certificate, enterprises manufacturing goods for export and holding a registration certificate issued by the Board of Investment as from 1 October 2006 are also being surveyed. These manufacturing enterprises are now classified as 'Export Oriented Enterprises (EOE)'. A survey of employment is carried out among the EOE on a quarterly basis and aims at providing up-to-date data on the evolution of the workforce in enterprises involved in manufacturing activities for export by industrial sub-group.
    Abstract
