The Statistical Federal Office (Destatis) has received the final report from the Commission on the Future of Statistics, which recommends various measures to improve the program and data accessibility. The report highlights the importance of statistical information for political decisions and acknowledges the efforts made by Destatis to provide current and high-quality data.
However, it also recognizes the institutional and legal limitations that hinder the adaptation of the statistical program to meet growing demands and close data gaps. The independent expert commission was established in May 2022 to advise Destatis on planning the statistical program.
