The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) has launched the Integrated Business Establishment Survey (IBES) Phase Two, which involves the collection of detailed information on the operations of business establishments in the country.
The project seeks to provide reliable, timely and relevant economic statistics to support the formulation and implementation of policies for the growth of the economy.
The IBES survey seeks to measure the contribution that various sectors of the economy make to the nation.
It is also expected that data acquired from the survey would help the GSS to rebase Ghana’s gross domestic product (GDP), producer price index (PPI) and other economic indicators by the end of 2016.
IBES Phases I & II
The IBES is structured in two phases, which involve all sectors of the Ghanaian economy.
The project will be undertaken with a $10 million grant from the Statistics for Results Facility Fund and a $30 million
