The benchmarking statistics compiled are on sales value, number of employees and salaries & wages and being published starting from January 2020. The benchmark
process adapted the guideline of the Quarterly National Accounts Manual 2017 edition, International Monetary Fund. The benchmarking process is done to enable the
series of values of annual estimates derived from short term survey consistent and match with the annual value from census/annual survey of the benchmark year.
