Business tendency surveys were conducted in industry, construction, retail trade, service sector, agriculture as well as in sphere of investments. Analytical information on results of business surveys was prepared. Scientific papers "Problems of statistics and management 2005" were prepared and published. The second edition of book "Diverse Latvia ..." was published. In 2005 the first self-evaluation (conjuncture) of local governments (total 530) was carried out. Latvia is the second European country after Sweden that has implemented such survey. The source of data of self-evaluation is the answers given by the heads of local governments to qualitative questions. The programme of the self-evaluation survey conducted by the Latvian Statistical Institute is more comprehensive than the Swedish programme. In addition to the traditional conjuncture research questions it also includes sociological questions and an open-ended question on the problems and hardships encountered by local governments. The questionnaire consists of five parts: employment, economy and finance, quality of local government performance, population participation; local government reform. The questions characterise the present tendency (9 questions), future tendency (6 questions), present level (5 questions), future level (1 question), limiting factors (1 question), 13 questions are of the type "yes" and "no" answers. The analysis concerns Latvia as a whole, the five planning regional and the six statistical regions as the NUTS 3 level units.
