Dear colleagues,
We would like to share with you Hetan Shah’s comment piece on how the production of independent statistics is coming under pressure around the world, which was recently published in the Financial Times.

Prior to the 2018 IAOS-OECD Conference “Better Statistics for Better Lives” that took place on 19-21 September 2018 in Paris, France, the International Association for Official Statistics (IAOS) organised a Special Meeting on “NSOs Professional Independence: Threats and Responses”.

On 18 September 2018, during the IAOS Special Meeting on “National Statistical Offices’ Professional Independence: Threats and Responses” immediately prior to the 16th IAOS-OECD Conference in Paris, a special Commendation was awarded to Andreas Georgiou, former and inaugural President of ELSTAT (the Greek Statistical Authority).
