Challenges and Improvement Directions for Accounting and Statistics of Chemical Industry Outputs

Chemical industry (chemical complex) is the basic segment of industrial production of Russia and is one of the leading fields of activities in world’s advanced economies. The evaluation of development trends of the country’s chemical complex, analysis and forecasting of various segments of the chemical production market necessitates the improvement of collection and accumulation of necessary information. The authors generalized foreign experience of empirical research on key development trends in the chemical industry. This article presents ways to better the statistical monitoring system of the chemical industry sector in Russia (on the example of certain types of activity of the chemical complex, such as the production of plastic products, chemical fibers and threads), which is viewed as a kind of statistical survey. In the final part of the article there are the authors’ proposals for the improvement of statistics (in part of the chemical complex statistics - the industrial production segment). Among them: the specification of individual sections of the Russian Classification and accounting of certain types of chemical products in accordance with international standards, restoring the reporting practice for indicators of the state of fixed assets.
