Only 73 countries confirmed that they compiled some distributive trade statistics.

However, in many national statistical offices, distributive trade statistics are not sufficiently developed.

In 2005, the Statistics Division established the Expert Group on Distributive Trade Statistics in order to obtain assistance and guidance during the revision of existing United Nations recommendations on distributive trade statistics.

It was agreed that the scope of distributive trade statistics should include wholesale trade, retail trade and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles.

Since that session, the Commission has not had distributive trade statistics on its agenda.

Moreover, a pilot version of the United Nations distributive trade statistics database for storage, processing and dissemination of distributive trade statistics will be developed and its outline will be presented to the Expert Group.

However, where necessary, those definitions could be adjusted to reflect the peculiarities of distributive trade.

The Statistical Commission, recognizing the economic importance of distributive trade, acknowledging that the availability and quality of national data on distributive trade needs improvement and expressing concern regarding the international comparability of such data, may wish

Distributive property.

In 2004, the Statistics Division developed a multi year strategy for updating international recommendations on distributive trade statistics.

The newly established United Nations Expert Group on Distributive Trade Statistics held its first meeting in August 2005.

Strategy of the Statistics Division for updating international recommendations on distributive trade statistics and the status of its implementation

Distributive property in action.

Special attention was given to the need to develop a set of recommendations regarding the compilation of indices of distributive trade, such as the index of retail trade and the index of wholesale trade.

Within the services sector, the main activities in terms of gross value added are business activities, distributive trade, education and public administration.

So matrix products do exhibit the distributive property, at

We did not use the distributive law just now.

In the distributive law, we multiply by 4 first.

This is the distributive property in action right here.

All we do is the distributive property again, right?

It also came to light that countries frequently use very different definitions of the scope of distributive trade and of compiled variables thus making international comparisons quite difficult.

It was concluded that national statistical offices should cooperate with other national agencies, if necessary, to develop a viable programme for distributive trade index numbers and volume measurement.

In the second half of 2007, the Division will begin technical assistance activities for developing countries to help build their capability to compile and disseminate distributive trade statistics.
