Monthly Wholesale Trade Survey (MWTS)
Wholesale sales of establishment, value
Wholesale sales refers to an intermediate step in the distribution of goods. Wholesalers are organized to sell merchandise in large quantities to retailers, and business and institutional clients.
Establishment refers to the level in the statistical hierarchy below the company in the Business Register statistical hierarchy, and at which the accounting data required to measure production are available (principal inputs, revenues, salaries and wages). The establishment is defined as the most homogeneous unit of production for which the business maintains accounting records. From these records, it is possible to assemble all the data elements required to compile the gross value of production (total sales or shipments, and inventories), the cost of materials and services, and labour and capital used in production.
The data for this variable are reported using the following measurements:
- Canadian dollar at current prices
- Canadian dollars at constant prices
- Canadians chained dollars
