Grand Cayman, 5 April 2022 – The Economics and Statistics Office will commence its annual business survey to measure the 2021 economic performance of industries in the Cayman Islands on 11 April, 2022.

Survey forms will be mailed or emailed to all relevant entities that produce goods and services in the Cayman Islands.

The survey seeks to gather data for the System of National Accounts (SNA), which estimates the total value of goods and services produced by the different industries in the Cayman Islands. 

It will also gather data for the Balance of Payments (BOP) which measures the total payments of residents to, and receipts from, the rest of the world.

All survey returns are confidential as mandated by the Statistics Act and are exempt from the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act. The survey returns will be used exclusively for ESO statistical purposes.

ESO officials emphasise that the survey results will be published in aggregate form only, with all individual information remaining confidential.

All survey respondents will be required to return a completed form by the survey deadline of 17 June, 2022. ESO staff will be available to assist entities in completing the forms. 

Survey forms and other information can also be found on the website at www.eso.ky, or may be requested by contacting 244-4676 or 244-4607
