Besides general statistics, such as the Retail Price Index, the PCBS also carries out special projects. It conducted the first Palestinian census in 1997, although Israel prevented the national census team from surveying the population in East Jerusalem. In 2007, the second census was carried out. In the 2007 census, a limited census was carried out in East Jerusalem.[4]
Also, the PCBS provided the 2003 "Survey on the Impact of separation Wall on the Location Where it Passed Through".
The PCBS publishes the Statistical Yearbook of Palestine and the Jerusalem Statistical Yearbook annually.
