Business Survey 2025: Part I
Dear entrepreneur,
The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) conducts the Business Survey 2025: Part I on an annual basis in Curaçao. The objective of this study is to collect business information from financial businesses, non-financial businesses, public owned Limited Liability companies, foundations, associations, sole proprietorships, etcetera. The collected data is consolidated with administrative data from other sources, which results in an overview of the economic development of Curaçao.
All enterprises and institutions with 10 employees or more (large institutions) are surveyed each year. For businesses and institutions with less than 10 employees (small institutions) a sample is taken.
Your enterprise/institution has been included in the Business Survey 2025: Part I of the CBS. For this survey the Annual Report Questionnaire 2024 should be completed. For the fiscal year 2024 final figures are requested.
The easiest way to comply with the survey is to provide CBS with a copy of your annual financial report. It will take you less than 10 minutes to answer the remaining general questions.
Experience has shown that it is useful to copy the completed questionnaire and file it under "CBS". That will make it easier for you to answer any further questions we might have.
The completed questionnaire must be returned to the CBS not later than four (4) weeks after delivery. If you are not able to complete the questionnaire within four (4) weeks you can ask for an extension in writing. Extension of time is granted only if requested before July 25th, 2025, and if a date is mentioned when the data can be supplied.
I inform you that you are obligated by law (PB 2011 No. 19) to cooperate with this survey. I can assure you that all information supplied is held in strictest confidence.
On the website of the CBS, you will find the publication ‘Economic Development of 2024’ in which you can see how the information you provided is being used, amongst others.
For further information you can contact CBS at telephone 723-2307 or email: nationale.rekeningen@cbs.cw.
