Statistics Sweden is a central government authority for official statistics and other government statistics and in this capacity also has the responsibility for coordinating and supporting the Swedish system for official statistics.
Statistics Sweden is already among the leaders in many areas, among others quality work, dissemination, international consultancy, register data and sample surveys, such as the Labour Force Survey (LFS), Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Survey of Living Conditions (SLC). At the same time, there are areas that need to be strengthened, for example in the household and IT areas. The economic statistics also needs to be improved in several respects.
Statistics Sweden’s mission
In order to supply the public, users and customers with good quality statistics to be used as a basis for decision-making, debate and research, Statistics Sweden shall:
- develop, produce and disseminate statistics,
- actively participate in statistical cooperation on an international level and
- coordinate and support the Swedish system for official statistics.
