What is the Annual Integrated Economic Survey?
The Annual Integrated Economic Survey (AIES) is a newly redesigned survey that combines multiple mandatory
annual surveys into one comprehensive data collection on business revenues, expenses, and assets. The new
format simplifies reporting by consolidating all necessary questions into one convenient platform, requiring you to
answer only industry-specific content that directly relate to your company's participation.
With key data items standardized across all sectors, the AIES will offer a holistic annual picture of the U.S.
economy. Your valuable data serve as a critical input in calculating the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), empowering
policymakers and businesses, including your own, to make well-informed and precise decisions.
