Institut national des études statistiques et économiques (INSEE)

The Institut national des études statistiques et économiques (INSEE) is France’s official agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and publishing data related to the country's economy, population, and society. It provides vital statistics such as population size, unemployment rates, inflation, and economic performance, which help government decision-making, policymakers, researchers, and the public understand current trends and make informed choices.
