Statistical Act

The Statistical Act is a law that governs how official statistics are collected, analyzed, and shared by government agencies. Its purpose is to ensure that data is accurate, reliable, and produced in a way that maintains privacy and confidentiality. The act sets standards for survey methods, data security, and ethical practices, helping the public and policymakers trust the statistical information used for making decisions. Essentially, it provides a legal framework to ensure that government statistics are produced responsibly, consistently, and transparently.
