The economic survey of CBS intends to identify the status of small to large business enterprises and economic activities of Nepal. Branch offices in all 77 districts will also be established for the same purpose.

The main intention is, however, to keep the record of all enterprises run by the government and every business and industry run by the private sector from large-scale enterprises to small firms.
CBS also intends to collect the details of the employment status of a person, his/her economic and financial detail including small and micro enterprises and entrepreneurs revealing the real status of economic activities, engagement of people in businesses, their income and employment generation across the country.
