The Azores Regional Statistics Institute (SREA) promotes the 5th edition of the Seminar on Regional Statistics to take place at its facilities in Angra do Heroísmo, starting next Friday.
The initiative aims to encourage the sharing of experiences among the entities in charge of the production of statistical data that make up the National Statistical System, such as the National Statistics Institute, Bank of Portugal and the Regional Statistics Institute.
The seminar will address the economic situation (analysis and economic indicators) and regional financial statistics as well as the growing importance of the principles and challenges for official statistics entities that are listed in the European Statistics Code of Practice.
This document defends the growing use of administrative data for statistical purposes, with the subsequent reduction of costs in statistical production and the decrease of the statistical burden on respondents, either citizens or companies.
