Economic Census While the Economic Census fieldwork was originally scheduled in October to November 2017, the NSB senior management has requested to postpone the closing date of the TF to July 2019 in order to accommodate the delay in the preparation for Economic Census owing mainly due to the upcoming National Elections in 2018. An approval for extending the closing date by one year was obtained from the TF administrators and the CMU agreed with the decision. The NSB has submitted a letter to request the project extension.
