BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Chinese media) -- Canvassers for China's
economic census must ensure the validity and credibility of the results to give
decision makers better insight into the economy, Vice Premier Li Keqiang said on
Sunday.
The census is vital as it provides a frame of
reference for the government to maintain stable, rapid economic growth as the
financial crisis deepens, Li said during visits to the National Bureau of
Statistics (NBS) and a census data collection site here.
"The global financial crisis has not bottomed out but
has further hit the world economy, and its adverse impact on China is gradually
unfolding," said Li.
He urged census-takers to strive for quality and
timeliness in their data.

China started its second national economic census in
October and is expected to publish the results at the end of this year. Workers
have finished preparations and begun to collect and analyze the data.
The NBS started the census in 2004, and it is
conducted every five years. The current census will help form the basis of the
social and economic development blueprint for the 12th Five-Year Plan
(2011-2015).
Statisticians around the nation will survey all
enterprises from the secondary and tertiary sectors, including smaller ones that
were omitted from earlier annual statistics.
