[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan City will conduct a 'Business Survey' from the 9th to March 6th, targeting all businesses that conducted industrial activities as of the end of December 2022 or are currently conducting industrial activities in Busan City as of the survey date.

The 'Business Survey' is a representative statistical survey in Korea, led by the Statistics Korea since 1994 and conducted by local governments nationwide. It is a very important statistical survey used to understand the scale and management status of businesses, to establish and evaluate policies of national and local governments, to assist companies in business planning and research, and as a sampling frame for various statistical surveys.

This year, the number of businesses subject to the survey in Busan City is approximately 400,000, ranking third nationwide after Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. A total of 584 pre-recruited statistical investigators will visit each business or conduct surveys via phone or internet, investigating 10 items including the type of business, number of employees, and business operation locations.

The statistical survey data will be used solely for statistical compilation purposes and will be strictly protected under Article 33 (Protection of Confidentiality) of the Statistics Act.

The results of the 2022 Business Survey will be announced as provisional results in September this year and as final results in December. They will be available through the Statistics Korea and Busan City Public Data Portal, allowing citizens, companies, and various organizations interested in the statistics to utilize them effectively.
