Note: Evidence that a survey was collected can be explicit like in a “survey section” of the website or “implicit” like in a report, summary table and/or any mention or reference to the data on the website.

* indicates instances where collection of recent microdata was not indicated on NSOs website, but the research team discovered it on an external website. These include Iraq: Rapid welfare monitoring survey SWIFT 2017/2018 downloadable from <u>https://microdata.worldbank.org/,</u> Egypt (2014) downloadable from http://www.dhsprogram.com/ and Iraq MICS 2018, Oman MICS 2014, Tunisia: MICS 2018, West Bank and Gaza (Palestine) MICS 2019/20 downloadable from <u>https://mics.unicef.org/surveys.</u>

All MENA NSOs except the Republic of Yemen collect price data for their CPI and or PPI and about half are up to date with respect to their labor force, consumption, and census data. Eleven NSOs report recent surveys in the Labor Force microdata category and 14 recent surveys are found in the consumption data category. For establishment data, only a quarter of NSOs (5) collected such data recently: the 2018 Kuwait’s Annual Survey of Establishments, 2016 Malta’s Labor Cost Survey, 2019 Morocco’s National Business Survey, 2019 Saudi Arabia’s Economic Indicator Survey and the 2018 Palestinian Economic Survey Series.

The NSOs of Saudi Arabia and West Bank and Gaza are up to date with their micro data collection across all data categories- 7 out of 7 recent microdata sets expected. They are closely followed by the Arab Republic of Egypt and Jordan which collected data for 6 out of the 7 recent microdata 10
