Start of fieldwork on the Survey on Intermediate Consumption 2021

Idescat is launching a new edition of the Survey on Intermediate Consumption 2021, in the context of the preparation of the Input-Output Framework for Catalonia 2021 (MIOC-2021). The survey fieldwork will be carried out from the end of October 2023 to the end of June 2024. The information will be collected by means of online questionnaires.

The main objective of the Survey on Intermediate Consumption 2021 is to provide statistical information with the necessary detail to prepare the Input-Output Framework for Catalonia 2021. This operation is the main source of information for the estimates of the main aggregates of the Catalan economy and makes it possible to guarantee congruence between the annual, quarterly, and territorial accounts. It also makes it possible to estimate economic impacts and other macroeconomic simulations.

To achieve these objectives, the survey questionnaire collects information in the following thematic blocks: purchases and their geographical origin, expenditure on external services and its geographical origin, income and destination of turnover, investment and its territorial origin, average employment and hours worked and personnel expenses.

The Survey on Intermediate Consumption 2021 (ECI 2021) is an official statistical activity included in the Annual Statistical Action Programme action 02 01 02, which implements the Law on the Statistical Plan for Catalonia 2017–2020, approved by Law 5/2016, of 23 December, which has been extended until the present time.
