THE SYSTEM OF OFFICIAL STATISTICS IN SWEDEN

In 1994, the responsibility of statistics connected to different authorities’ fields of activity was transferred from Statistics Sweden to the authority concerned. Statistics Sweden kept the responsibility of multi-sectoral statistics and its coordinating function. The main objective of the reform was to increase user influence. The authorities can produce official statistics within their own organisation or they can entrust the services of an expert, such as Statistics Sweden. Today, Statistics Sweden is responsible for about 40 percent of the number of products but for slightly more than 80 percent of the production of official statistics.
