The main objective of the Integrated Business Survey (IBS) was to measure the performance of Construction and Distributive Trade sectors. Secondly, it was to provide information on the number and geographical locations of construction and distributive trade establishments.
Getting estimates of contribution of construction and distributive trade activities to the Gross Domestic Product was another objective of the IBS. The survey also aimed at providing data on the type and flow of goods and services in order to allow policy formulation or policy change to strengthen the sectors.
