Why Statistics Matters?

Statistics provides appropriate information, necessary for business and individual decision-making process. High quality statistical data provide mirror to all data users. It is the main instrument to measure differences between countries and territories, and also plays crucial role for monitoring and analyzing progress on implementation.

Conduct surveys and collect administrative data are the main sources for statistical data, produced by the National Statistics Offices. However above-mentioned traditional data sources may not be sufficient to address the increased demand on statistical data, from different users. Therefore, there is a need for looking for new, alternative data sources and develop modern technologies for production of official statistics.

 Also, there is a need to disseminate statistical data in more understandable and visually attractive manner, to avoid wrong interpretation of data, as a result of which, National Statistics Offices may be “the instrument” for political manipulation.
