Data Processing
Cleaning Operations
Foreign Trade Section (FTS) under National Accounting Wing collects CD from NBR on a monthly basis. Then that CD is sent to the Computer Wing of BBS for rearranging, processing, tabulating etc. After completion of related works the Computer Wing sends back the tabulation sheets to FTS for correction, compilation and editing. Then FTS sends those sheets back to the Computer Wing for reposting the corrected entries. The Computer Wing then incorporates the corrected figures and prints a copy for further checking. After a final checking, the Computer Wing prints the final tables. Though most of the tabulations are made according to HS Coding, some selected tabulations are done on the basis of category of goods by different exporting or importing accounts.
Selected monthly tables are published in the Monthly Statistical Bulletin and other monthly and annual publications of BBS. FTS are published on fiscal year basis, from July 1 to June 30.
