The
Role of the Branch |
|
The
Construction Market Intelligence branch (CMI) is responsible for the collection of construction data and statistics in DTI
and has been operating since 1958 when it began to collect information from companies connected with the construction industry. |
We now collect data through means of regular sampling across a wide range of firms, large and small. |
As the construction industry accounts for a large percentage of the country's Gross Domestic Product, it is a good indicator on the health of the economy in general. |
|
The information CMI collect is used in monthly inflation figures and so it is important that the data is as accurate as possible. A 1% error in the figures could produce a 0.01% error in inflation. |
