Abstract

The Census of Industrial Production (CIP) and construction was carried out from July to October 2018. The census aimed at providing key statistics to be used for development of the structure of the industrial sector; rebasing of the producer price index, compilation of Supply and Use tables, Input-Output tables, Value Added and other National Accounts statistics and industrial exports and imports for the balance of payments statistics. Whereas, the last CIP was conducted in 2010 with 2009 as the reference year, the 2018 CIP reference year was 2017.

Data collected in the census included general particulars of establishments/enterprises, employment, labour costs, income, expenditure, goods and materials consumed, goods produced, fixed assets, imports, exports, waste management, ICT usage and the general business environment. The Census therefore sought to: i. Provide information for mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity and gas supply, water and sewerage, and construction sectors to be used in revision and rebasing of the National Accounts. ii. Form the basis for revisions and rebasing of key indices such as the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and the Production Price Index (PPI). iii. Collect data to be used to update the sampling register for the annual Survey of Industrial Production, Monthly Survey of Industrial Production and rebasing of the Construction Input Price Index (CIPI). iv. Provide data for computing baseline export/import price indices for the industrial sector. v. Provide updated information to monitor the growth and the gains in fish processing, agro-Processing, leather and textiles sub-sectors which have been put on focus in realization of the Government increase of manufacturing contribution to GDP which is one of its big four action plans.

Specifically, the CIP 2018 set to;

i. Provide benchmark data to update economic structure of the industrial sector from the CIP 2010 level, To provide data on Industrial Structure; Update the current frame which was last developed in 2009; Improve quality of industrial data through broadening of statistical database to cater for changes that have taken place since 2009. ii. Establish an industrial database and update the register which will monitor and reflect changes in the structure of industry and provide a frame for industrial surveys. iii. Provide data for use in compilation of Supply and Use Tables, input-output tables and other national accounts statistics. iv. Provide data for industrial output, and capacity utilization. v. Provide measures of key statistics and the economic structure for the construction sector Provide data for computing baseline export/import price indices for the industrial sector. vi. Provide data for rebasing the Producer Price Index (PPI), the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) and the Construction Input Price Indices (CIPI) vii. Provide a basis for assessing trends in the economy and the contribution of industrial activities to the national economy.
