The list of all businesses will then be used to draw a sample of businesses across every industry and region nationwide.

Enumerators will return to the fields to administer the Economic questionnaire to the selected sample during the second phase.

Vital data will be collected on business performance, outputs and intermediate costs, which will be instrumental in enhancing the computation of Guyana's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
