TunisiaMEDSTAT IV to hold workshop on development of Statistical Business Register
Four of the nine Southern Mediterranean countries participating in the EU-funded MEDSTAT IV project, i.e. Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Palestine, expressed their wish to receive technical assistance to design a national strategy for the development of a statistical business register (SBR) and a roadmap for its implementation. In this context, a technical assistance mission will be organised in Amman on 3-4 May 2017 bringing together participants from the 4 countries.
Before coming to Amman, participants will first have to prepare a draft strategy for setting up a statistical business that is feasible according to the context and constraints of their respective national statistical systems, to be discussed and finalised during the meeting.
The objective of the technical assistance is to improve the understanding of the Guidelines on Statistical Business Registers from the UNSD and to discuss the practical application of these recommendations.
Some of the Southern Mediterranean countries are already well advanced in the implementation of a statistical business register but they still lack of tools to match/compare administrative files from different sources, or still face problems linked to the identification of the businesses.
