Business Statistics - Gyomu Tokei

These are statistics that are not surveyed and compiled with the purpose of obtaining a specific statistical result, but are compiled primarily for the purpose of knowing the results of daily business operations, based on information obtained incidentally during the performance of those operations. In a broad sense, any information obtained in relation to the performance of business operations, whether public or private, can be called business statistics, but usually the term refers to statistics compiled to periodically organize and report the results of business operations, based on information obtained in relation to the processing of administrative tasks carried out by various departments and bureaus of the executive branch, external bureaus, and operational departments. All of these are compiled from tasks carried out in accordance with systematic administrative organizations and laws and regulations, and examples include Japan Foreign Trade Statistics (commonly known as customs statistics) based on customs operations, postal statistics based on postal operations, tax statistics based on tax collection operations, and construction start statistics based on construction administration.

ある特定の統計的結果を得る目的をもって調査、集計される統計ではなく、日常業務の遂行の際に、それに付随して得られる情報に基づいて、主として業務遂行の結果を知る目的で作成される統計のこと。広義には、公私を問わず、業務の遂行に関して得られるものはすべて業務統計といいうるが、普通は、行政府の各部局や外局、現業部門などで行われる事務処理に関して得られた情報に基づいて、その処理の結果を定期的に整理、報告するために作成される統計についていわれる。いずれも系統的な行政事務機構と法令に基づいて行われる業務のなかから作成されるもので、税関業務に基づく日本外国貿易統計（通称、通関統計）、郵政事務に基づく郵政統計、徴税事務に基づく税務統計、建設行政に基づく建築着工統計などがその例である。
