Retail Trade, Hotels and Restaurants
Introductory note | Contents |
The publication contains information on the development of basic indicators of employment and financial performance of businesses in Retail Trade, Hotels and Restaurants, that are included in the following Divisions of the CZ-NACE.
50 – Sale, maintenance and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles; Retail of automotive fuel,
51 – Wholesale Trade and commission trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles,
52 – Retail Trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles; Repair of personal and household goods,
55 – Hotels and Restaurants.
As for institutional sectors, these branches comprise entities from the sector 11 (non-financial enterprises) and sector 14 (households – unincorporated natural persons).
Data in the publication result from the processing of the quarterly questionnaire P 3-04. For the selection of businesses included in the survey we used administrative sources that are included in the Business Register. Medium-size businesses (usually with 20 – 99 employees) fill the questionnaire P 3(b)-04 and large businesses (usually with 100 and more employees) the questionnaire P 3(c)-04. Individual “mutations“ of the questionnaire P 3-04 differ as for the number of indicators required; basic indicators have the same methodological determination and are measured by both the questionnaires. In total, the quarterly questionnaire in the Trade, Hotels and Restaurants branch in 4th quarter was sent to approximately 4.5 thousand units; response rate (percentage of filled-in questionnaires that came back) was 63.7%. Data for the set of units that do not receive the quarterly questionnaire (small businesses, usually with less than 20 employees or without employees) are estimated using information from monthly surveys S P 1 – 12 and then specified according to the last results of annual surveys available (now we have preliminary processed annual questionnaires for the year 2002).
For statistical surveys in 2003 the CZSO started to use information on economic activity of enterprises from available administrative sources. This methodological change was reflected in the creation of populations and samples as well as in the processing of the results of surveys. The results of the survey for 2002 were calculated retrospectively by the same method. For the above-mentioned reasons, data for the previous year differ from the data published in 2002; data in this publication for both years are comparable as for methodology.
The publication contains basic indicators by individual Divisions (2-digit codes) of CZ-NACE, an overview of financial indicators for large businesses (with 100 and more employees) in total, from that for foreign controlled enterprises (sub-sector 11003). The graphical part contains data on average wages and structure of sales.
Financial indicators (where not mentioned otherwise) are in current prices in millions CZK.
