Request GNR system data

To handle more complex queries, The CSI has set up a process via the Project Management Committee (PMC) which serves as a link between PricewaterhouseCoopers and the participating companies. Parties interested in making more complex queries of the database system should send their requests directly to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

The request should indicate the following information:

  1. Name and function of the requesting organization
  2. A description of the proposed use of the data
  3. Contact details for responses or further clarification
  4. Details of the requested information
  5. Geographic coverage
  6. Specific variables requested
  7. Time frame for data


The PMC will review all requests to determine, first, if the data is available, and second, if responses to the query would fall within the limits of confidentiality and anti-trust constraints adopted for this program. These constraints will limit the ability to respond to some requests for data (e.g., requests for single country data, specific company data, etc.).

Approved requests are forwarded to PwC for processing and a final check for compliance with antitrust and confidentiality rules. Assuming that no legal issues are raised by the query, PwC will perform the database query and return the results to the PMC, which will in turn respond to the originator of the query.

Some queries need significant time for analysis. Costs of the analysis are, in general, borne by the party submitting the query, with exceptions made for public authorities and some international organizations. The party making the query will be advised and must approve the cost prior to the work being done.
