The government observes World Statistics Day and National Statistics Day 2025 with due significance across the country on Monday. According to an official release issued, this year’s theme is “Driving Change with Quality Statistics and Data for Everyone.”
Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus extended his greetings in a message marking the occasion. He highlighted the crucial role of accurate and reliable data in shaping effective government policies, implementing them efficiently, and assessing their outcomes.
He noted that quality statistics are indispensable for tracking progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
He further stated that the Interim Government has initiated multiple reform measures to upgrade and modernize the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), aiming to transform it into a globally recognized institution.
If implemented properly, these steps will make the data collection, analysis, and publication process more efficient, technology-driven, and aligned with international standards.
Emphasizing the broader impact of accessible and high-quality data, CA said, “I firmly believe that the universal availability and use of quality data will play a supportive role in enhancing democratic governance, transparency, and accountability in the country, and will make development more people-oriented.”
He also remarked, “We are working to ensure quality statistics and data for all through the collective efforts of policymakers, decision-makers, planners, researchers, statisticians, and data users across the country.”
The CA wished success to all programmes and events being organized in observance of World Statistics Day and National Statistics Day 2025.
