Anguilla National Accounts and Balance of Payments - FINAL REMINDER

(Press Release - Anguilla Statistics Department) - The Anguilla Statistics Department has reviewed its files of returns for the Annual Business Survey and even though the deadline for returning the questionnaire has passed, a vast majority of businesses still have not returned their questionnaires.

In December 2008 the Department distributed via mail the Annual Business Survey questionnaire(s) to all businesses on our record as at September 2008. It is imperative that the data is received by the Department before Friday, May 22, 2009, as the data is integral for the calculation of the 2008 National Accounts and Balance of Payments figures for Anguilla.

Our records seem to indicate that a number of businesses, such as, not for profit organisations, sport clubs, restaurants, hotels and other organisations have yet to return the questionnaire completed as accurately as possible.

To this end, we are requesting that the owner/manager of the following businesses contact the Statistics Department today to regularise the status of his/her business’ return(s). Owners/Managers are also requested to check their files and ensure that the requisite business questionnaire(s) have been returned.
