Compilation of Basic Economic Statistics

      The United Nations Statistics Division established in 2009 a work programme on major issues related to the compilation of basic economic statistics, such as conduct of economic censuses and statistical surveys, use of administrative data, establishment and maintenance of a business register. The work programme aims at identifying good country practices and promoting them among the developing countries in order to improve their statistical capability. This website provides an overview of the activities currently undertaken by the United Nations Statistics Division in the area of basic economic statistics.
