4. Discussion and Conclusion
The generation of the Master Establishment Frame (MEF) has many
effective results on the quality of the statistical data and the field work as
follows:
1- This technique reduces time, effort and money along with including the
data of the surveys and researches in the same questionnaire for each
establishment.
2- The interview is conducted only once for each establishment at a certain
time to collect data.
3- Reliance on a unified source of data which is CAPMAS since it is the
national statistics bureau.
4- Helps in generating complete business register for establishments in
CAPMAS.
Challenges:
The constant updates of the Master Establishment Frame need a lot of cost
because the updating process is done with the field work to have one frame,
so that any operating establishment is registered in the Ministry of Investment
but the challenges are in the cases of closed establishments and how would
they be covered during the field work and how much of CAPMAS budget
should be allocated for it.

Conclusion
The duplication of data has a lot of problems that affect the quality of the
outcomes of the statistical work. It is therefore imperative to solve this
problem by using a unified source of data (CAPMAS) and the frame (MAF) for
the collected data. Such a mechanism assists in overcoming the overlapping
frames problem where data are collected only once from each establishment.
As a result, this will provide a lot of time, cost and effort and consequently
increases the quality and accuracy of data and improve the impact on the
statistical and economic decisions to better create solid policies for future
developments.

Future Works
The methodology discussed in this paper will be used to form the MEF
which will be updated using data from explained sources also the results of
the currently ongoing economic census 2018/2019 with taking into account
changes in sampling frames used where only 4 frames are used from General
Census of Population, Housing and Establishment 2017:
• Small size establishments with less than 5 employees.
• Middle size establishments with 5-9 employees.
