With the growth and increasing complexity of\u00a0the Turkish economy and the resulting societal changes, there has been an increasing interest in statistics as a means of monitoring many aspects of the country’s development, including the functioning of government, at all levels. The almost universal recognition of the importance of statistics and the compliance studies to the EU standards has placed a heavy responsibility on the State Institute of Statistics. For this reason, a new statistical law has been prepared in compliance with the EU standards.<\/p>\n
Turkish Statistical Law has been published in the Official Gazette numbered 25997 on 18th of November, 2005<\/strong> and entered into force on the same day. The new law has been adopted<\/strong> in accordance with our commitments on account of statistical system applied in EU countries<\/strong>. The new law has changed the name of our institute as Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT).<\/strong><\/p>\n With the New Turkish Statistical Law some provisions concerning the organizational structure of the Institute are introduced and principles regarding the Official Statistics are set out. In accordance with the Law, preparation of a Multi-Annual Official Statistical Programme is proposed and implementation principles and authorities of the Programme are determined. On the other hand, functions and organization of the Statistical Council are re-arranged by including the Statistical Council into the organizational structure of the Institute.” (July 2008)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Turkish Statistical Institute was named as State Institute if Statistics (Devlet Istatistik Entitusu) before 2005.
