Reasons for the Return of the National Statistics Office to the Supervision of the Minister of Finance
The National Statistics Office has returned to the supervision of the Ministry of Finance, under a new presidential decree that reorganizes the supervisory authority over one of the most important bodies that provides the state with tools to measure and monitor the national economy. This step places statistical data at the heart of the financial and economic system and opens the door for greater coordination between the figures produced by the office and the decisions based on them. According to presidential decree No. 26-294 dated September 12, 2026, which assigns the supervisory authority over the National Statistics Office to the Minister of Finance, published in issue 66 of the official gazette, it has been officially decided to transfer the supervisory authority over the office to the Minister of Finance.
