The paper analyses the need for a pro-active approach by statistical organizations. It discusses the pros and cons, argues the case for a pro-active approach and presents some experiences. The role of Statistical Offices in the policymaking process is described, with a special relation to the EU Lisbon process. Tools are presented that can help to improve the relationships.

This paper focuses on measures that may help a statistical agency to maintain the credibility of official statistics. Three broad sets of factors that have to be addressed in order to achieve and maintain credibility are distinguished. The first are structural factors having to do with the legislative and organizational arrangements within which the statistical agency operates. The second set are the statistical factors, which pertains to the way the agency collects, processes and publishes its data and manages the quality of those data. Finally, there is a set of factors that are referred to as reputational. These factors are aimed at ensuring that users, including importantly the media and the general public, see and appreciate that the outputs of the agency deserve to be trusted. Credibility is, to a considerable extent, a matter of perception.

The paper gives an overview of the functioning of the official statistical system in Sweden with particular emphasis on coordination tools. The Swedish statistical system was decentralised in 1994. Today Statistics Sweden is responsible for about 40 percent of the number of products but for slightly more than 80 percent of the production of official statistics. The approach Statistics Sweden has chosen in its coordinating function is to encourage “soft” coordination. This means encouraging discussions and trying to reach consensus before decisions rather than issuing regulations. So far, this approach to coordination of Swedish official statistics has been successful. The cooperation between the authorities responsible for official statistics and the transparency and efficiency of the system has improved. However, there are still many problems to solve and many possibilities for improvement.

This paper reviews the current state and identifies priorities for the development of short-term statistics in the service sector for the euro area. The service sector covers 70% of the euro area and EU economy, but statistical information at monthly or quarterly frequency is rare, with the exception of information on retail trade. More data will become available from some EU regulations in the course of the next few years, but, in particular, economic activity and prices are not sufficiently covered yet. As part of the 5th Progress Report of the Economic and Financial Committee (EFC) on European Monetary Union (EMU) statistics, the Statistical Programme Committee (SPC) and the Committee on Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics (CMFB) jointly proposed steps to improve service statistics. The proposed priorities for improvements of short-term statistics therefore include new indicators (output, output prices and employment), improvements in coverage particularly in the market sector, and better timeliness for some indicators. The new draft EU Regulation concerning short-term statistics addresses several of these issues and is therefore welcomed by the European Central Bank (ECB). For its implementation a co-ordination approach at European level is highly desirable in order to avoid delays in the release of statistics for the euro area as a whole.

OECD has a current project to coordinate international developments in services statistics. The project addresses the problems of how to make the coordination mechanisms more efficient, avoid duplication of effort, identify and ensure coverage of essential issues, and how to communicate conceptual/methodological outputs to all that need them. In the context of improving statistics on services generally, this paper asks some basic questions on why we need better measures of service prices and volumes. What are the obstacles to progress? What are the choices and priorities? What about quality and international comparability of the resulting statistics? Measurement problems exist and might sometimes be too difficult to be solved “properly”, nonetheless we should strive for an amelioration of methods, greater transparency and a degree of international harmonisation. Viewing this work from an international perspective, the paper outlines the progress achieved to date on services prices and volumes and suggests a mechanism to take the work forward. It reports on some recent progress on measurement of insurance output. In conclusion some discussion points on directions for future work are put forward.

The US Producer Price Index (PPI) Program continues to expand coverage with a new economy-wide index model based on the input-output tables produced by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). All marketed US domestic production of goods and services is considered in-scope under the new economy-wide index model. An important benefit of the PPI’s expanded coverage is the production of a more comprehensive set of deflators that in turn should lead to improved measures of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and productivity. The deflation properties of a price index are partly dependent on how statistical agencies respond operationally to the conceptually difficult price measurement challenges presented by service industries such as finance, consulting or medical care. Several criteria can be used to access the accuracy and relevance of deflators that vary according to the complexity of the price measurement challenge. There are major issues to be resolved both in developing the new data product and in educating the user public about the new data product and its relationship to the existing PPI.
