European Statistics Day

'European Statistics Day is an excellent opportunity to remind and promote the value of official statistics for making informed decisions and holding public debates. It is also a day to extend special thanks to all colleagues across Europe who have chosen statistics as their profession. Happy European Statistics Day, dear colleagues!'

‘European Statistics Day is a moment to celebrate the indispensable role that official statistics play in shaping our understanding of society. Reliable and objective data are at the heart of informed decision-making. They provide a clear window into the complexities of our world, enabling governments, businesses, citizens, and central banks to make sound, evidence-based decisions. On this day, we recognize the dedication of those who ensure that official statistics remain a trusted resource for all of us.’

‘In an increasingly complex world, both technologically and socially, official statistics are a dynamic window through which all citizens can better understand society and find the evidence-based support to plan for a collective future.’
