Description:
The Northern Ireland Annual Business Inquiry (NIABI) 2014-2021 collects both financial and employment information from businesses and other establishments and covers about two thirds of the economy. This includes the production, construction, distribution and service industries in Northern Ireland but excludes public sector activity for the most part. The NIABI provides a number of high-level indicators of economic activity such as the total value of sales and work completed by businesses (Turnover), the value of the purchase of goods, materials and services and total employment costs. The contribution of different industries to the overall value of economic activity can be assessed and because estimates of employment are collected at the same time it is also possible to get a measure of value added and costs per head to allow better comparison between different sized industrial sectors. The NIABI is designed to provide the best estimates for Northern Ireland as well as providing information that is used at a later stage to inform UK National and Regional Accounts estimates.
In 2011 questions relating to the value of trade were added to the NIABI questionnaire and as such the NIABI also includes data used to produce a number of trade related measures within the Northern Ireland Economic Trade Statistics (NIETS), formerly known as Broad Economy Sales and Exports Statistics (BESES). NIETS is a National Statistics annual measure of local businesses’ sales to and purchases from markets outside Northern Ireland.
Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) 2014-2021: The BRES collects employee job figures by gender and working pattern from public and private sector businesses in NI. The data is collected at local unit level (individual business sites) which allows for disaggregation of the employee job counts by NI geographies. The business description is collected which allows for disaggregation of the employee job counts by industry. The BRES collects information at a local unit level that is used to update the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR). The data collected includes: contact details including email address and business address, business operational status and business activity. The business register information obtained from the NI BRES is processed within the Economic Labour Market and Statistics Branch (ELMSB) within NISRA. This data is used to update the NI element of the IDBR which is used as a sampling frame for business surveys.
