The United Nations General Assembly, in its resolution of June 3, 2010, designated October 20 as the World Statistics Day. This observance is noted every five years, with countries, international and regional organizations, research institutes, and the media encouraged to guarantee the correctness, objectivity, and openness of statistical data.
In the Open Data Inventory (ODIN) ranking, the Statistics Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan has advanced to 30th place among 195 countries with 70 points, and kept the first position in Central Asia. ODIN has been included among the sustainable development indicators since 2023, which will enhance the dependability of the ranking and motivate countries to use open data in tracking the accomplishment of the Millennium Development Goals by 2030.
In 2017, the Agency completed 20 questionnaires from 6 international organizations, and by 2023, it is planned to furnish information on the indicators of the socio-economic development of Uzbekistan based on 49 types of questionnaires from 17 international organizations.
To bring in international recommendations and standards into the national statistical system, study international experience, and continually enhance the system, active international cooperation has been set up with more than 10 international organizations and statistical departments of 11 foreign countries.
In the 2023 BRM (SDG index) ranking, Uzbekistan ranked 69th among 166 countries with an index of 71.1, which is 8 positions higher than the 2022 result.
