Today, the global demand for high-quality, real-time data is outpacing supply. As the volume and complexity of information continue to grow, technological innovation has become a key driver in transforming statistical systems. These systems are being pushed to deliver faster, more reliable data while reducing the burden on respondents. Achieving this requires close cooperation between governments, the scientific community, and the business sector.
A key moment in this transformation was marked by a high-level panel discussion held at SPIEF 2025 – the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. SPIEF is one of the world’s leading platforms for discussing global economic issues, bringing together heads of state, business leaders, and experts to shape the international economic agenda. In recent years, SPIEF has placed increased focus on the role of data, innovation, and digital transformation in shaping modern economies.
This year’s panel focused on the future of national and global statistics in the next five years. Among the key questions discussed:
– What digital solutions will define the future of official statistics?
– Can the use of alternative data significantly reduce the burden on businesses?
– How can we accelerate the production of statistics without compromising data quality?
– What steps are needed to build a unified market for accessible and high-quality data?
Our director was honored to join a distinguished panel of international leaders in the field:
As statistical systems evolve to meet the challenges of the digital age, this dialogue at SPIEF 2025 represents an important step toward building smarter, faster, and more transparent data ecosystems on a global scale.
