Introduction

The Planning and Statistics Authority celebrates the World Statistics Day, which is observed around the globe every five years on 20 October.

This year's celebration is observed under the theme "Connecting The World With Data We Can Trust;" a unified slogan of the United Nations Statistical Commission based on the importance of reliable data in the world in which we live today. The celebration is limited to electronic platforms due to the current exceptional circumstances.

During its 69th Regular Session held in New York on 3 June 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted the celebration of World Statistics Day every five years in all member states after it was celebrated for the first time in 2010, in accordance with Resolution 64/282.
