October 20th is the day of Official Statistics. It’s the day to highlight the importance of reliable, independent and high-quality numbers. Numbers that help to make good, evidence-based decisions.
This year “Better data, better lives” is the theme of the World Statistics Day selected by the United Nations General Assembly.
