Abstract
The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) has conducted the third census of real estate business in 2019, following previous surveys in 2003/04 and 2013. The census was carried out by the Trade Statistics Section of the bureau, which is involved in collecting data on social, economic, and environmental statistics, including trade in services and business surveys.
The main objective of the real estate census was to collect information on macroeconomic indicators such as output, intermediate consumption, compensation of employees, change in inventories, number of employees, and capital formation. The results of the census provide important data for estimating gross domestic product (GDP) and other macroeconomic indicators, and contribute to the strengthening of the national statistical system.
The report is based on data collected from 210 real estate establishments, although the National Economic Census in 2018 had shown 207 establishments in the country. The total compensation of employees received by the employers for work done in real estate establishments during the accounting year 2018/19 was estimated to be NRs. 1.2 billion with Bagmati province accounting for the highest portion at 96% of total salaries and wages.
The census also revealed the structure of input and output in the real estate sector. The intermediate consumption in the main activities of real estate was estimated at NRs. 5.27 billion which was used to produce output worth NRs. 9.8 billion. Bagmati province had the highest share of 44% in output compared to other provinces during the census year.
The value added generated from real estate establishments was estimated to be NRs. 4,561,658 thousands, with a ratio of input to output of 0.53, indicating that input generates 1.86 times the output in the real estate sector. This suggests that the real estate sector generates higher profits compared to other sectors of the economy, and entrepreneurs should consider investing a significant amount at the initial stage of their business.
According to the national accounts estimate of CBS for the fiscal year 2018/19, the value added generated from the real estate sector was NRs. 295.7 billion with output of NRs. 406.8 billion and intermediate consumption of NRs. 111 billion. This data provides interesting macroeconomic indicators, including a value added of NRs. 18.9 million per establishment, output of NRs. 40.8 million thousand per real estate establishment, and 5.11 persons engaged per establishment.
