Scottish Annual Business Statistics 2007
Introduction
(For a PDF version of this site, please use this link.)
What do these statistics cover?
Scottish Annual Business Statistics provides data mainly on the Manufacturing, Construction and Service Sectors in Scotland. The Annual Business Inquiry, from which the statistics are derived, covers approximately two thirds of the economy. The main sectors not covered are the financial sector and some of the public sector. These statistics are therefore best suited to the analysis of individual industries rather than the economy as a whole.
The Tables include information on businesses' employees, turnover, purchases, approximate gross value added and labour costs. Data are classified according to industry group, geographical area and ownership. All figures are at current prices unless otherwise stated.
What year do tables relate to?
The latest figures relate to 2007 and were released on 27th August 2009 (2006 data has also been revised). Most tables provide time series data from 1998-2007.
When will the figures be updated?
New 2008 and revised 2007 figures should be available in Summer 2010.
