European Commission Progress Report on Chapter 18 Statistics 2024
This year, additional progress was noted in the Report on chapter 18 Statistics, where a high level of compliance was noted in the statistical infrastructure, while some progress was noted in the sectoral statistics.
The European Commission published the Country Progress Report 2024 in which the assessment for chapter 18 Statistics is that the country is between a moderate and a good level of preparedness in the field of statistics. This year, additional progress was noted in the Report on chapter 18 Statistics, where a high level of compliance was noted in the statistical infrastructure, while some progress was noted in the sectoral statistics.
The assessment in the Report is another confirmation that the State Statistical Office, as the main holder and coordinator of the National Statistical System, is a highly professional institution within the bodies of the state administration, which rightfully deserves the epithet of an equal member of the European statistical family applying the European principles and standards in operation like all other statistical institutions of EU member states.
All these results and high achievements are the result of the maximum commitment and dedication of all the employees of the institution who are constantly fully invested in achieving the set goals despite all the obstacles that the institution has been facing for a long time.
