ICT4. ICT goods exports as a percentage of total exports

Value of exportsof all ICT goods

ICT4 = x 100

Total value of exports• ICT goods classification according to OECD, based on the WCO’s Harmonized System (HS) for trade statistics (1996 and 2002 versions). • Guiding principle: ICT goods must either be intended to fulfill the function of information processing and communication by electronic means, including transmission and display, or use electronic processing to detect, measure and/or record physical phenomena, or to control a physical process.• Obtained from foreign trade data.• Cooperation between the NSO and the customs authority is essential for data transmission and the classifications of goods.

UNCTAD data collectionUNCTAD data collection• Annual survey with NSOs • 2004 – 2006: selected developing countries• As of 2007: all UNCTAD members countries (except

EUROSTAT members) • Database online by end 2010• Results published in the

Information Economy Report (IER)

The IER is available at http://www.unctad.org/ 2010 edition launched on 14 October 2010

UNCTAD data collectionUNCTAD data collection

Comparability: Comparability: • Data often not comparable or representative• Lack of continuity in data collection (one-off surveys)• Differences in types of surveys, sampling units, frames,

sizes, denominator• Differences in response categories (e.g. modes of

access and activities the Internet is used for)• Metadata as important as statistical data

Availability:Availability:• Lack of cLack of coordination between Government entities

Lessons learnedLessons learned


UNCTAD

UNCTAD data collectionUNCTAD data collection

Coordination among national statistical systems

Long-term process: start early (start small) Use core list as a starting point (add

questions to existing surveys as appropriate) Use agreed-upon definitions and indicators –

need to harmonize results Ultimate goal: sustainable data collection,

integrate in national statistical plan

Considerations at the national Considerations at the national levellevel

• Targets statisticians from NSOs or other national entities in charge of the collection and dissemination of ICT use in business data at the national level.

• Technical content: Relatively small groups (25 max) to encourage maximum interaction among specialists.

• Arab countries a priority, awaiting Arabic translation of Manual.
