The results will also be available to private enterprises as important data in making decisions concerning their investment and management activities. 　　 This survey covers all four major sectors of the economy： households, enterprises, governments and non-profit corporate organizations. Assets to be investigated include reproducible tangible fixed assets, inventory stocks, and net foreign assets.
