The Classification for Economic Activities can be defined as the way in which counting units can be collected according to a serial order and defined by homogeneous groups with a view to creating a general framework for comparison of statistical data at the local, regional and international levels, where the data of the economic activity can be divided according to the guide prepared for this to specific levels in a manner similar to the characteristics of economic activities classified in one rank. This similarity is in the type and use of goods and services produced, related services, intermediate inputs, technology used and funding methods.
