Description In line with PCBS policy that has to do with disseminating official Palestinian statistics, the
ICT Business survey, 2021 aims to provide statistical information for decision makers. These
data make a substantial contribution toward enriching the database on Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) by providing a set of indicators that are important in order
to meet local needs and are consistent with international recommendations. The ICT indicators
help to determine the extent of progress and economic growth in the Palestinian economy
through the revolutionary impact of information and communication technologies that have
become a feature of this era.
This survey studied the mechanisms and characteristics of use and access to the basic tools of
ICT, such as (mobile phones, computers, internet, in addition to a group of advanced
technologies that have been increasingly used in recent times). The survey aims primarily to
provide comprehensive statistical data on the availability and use of ICT tools in economic
enterprises according to their major economic activities, workforce size, location and goals, in
addition to the main features of ICT use.

questionnaire, the sampling frame, and the sample, as well as the field operations and data
