A number of themes will be focused on at this second meeting of the OECD's SBS Expert Meeting. Key amongst these is the continuing development of indicators that further our understanding of Entrepreneurship Indicators, an area of growing policy interest. Indeed this increased importance has been reflected in organisational changes recently introduced in the OECD's Statistics Directorate, namely the merging of the activities of the OECD's Entrepreneurship Indicators Project and the OECD's Structural Business Statistics Unit into one unit to better exploit the synergies in these work-areas.
Another important theme in this year’s meeting is to consider, as a group, how NSOs and the OECD can utilise business statistics as a source of information that better meets the needs of policy makers and analysts alike. Business statistics micro-data is being increasingly used and requested and the moment is ripe to consider how these growing needs can be met, without compromising confidentiality, by producing a new suite of aggregated composite indicators, in much the same way that standard indicators derived from business statistics are already produced, for example average turnover per 4-digit business. Concurrent with this is a desire to better understand the needs of policy makers across countries and so an important theme of the meeting will be for representatives to describe how business statistcis are used and presented across countries.
