RA Law “On State Statistics”

RA Law “On State Statistics” was entered into force on 26 April, 2000, which separates bodies implementing statistics, more correctly:

• the body implementing state statistics, which is the National Statistical Service of the Republic of Armenia and its territorial units (regional agencies),

• bodies implementing administrative statistics, which are state institutions and local self-government institutions, including the Central Bank of the RA, and which implement branchal (departmental) and local (community) recording (statistics) through maintaining administrative registers.

Implementation of Administrative Register

• Approval of draft administrative statistical reports and instructions for their completion by the Council on State Statistics of RA,

• Order of the Minister of Education and Science of RA on adoption of administrative statistical reports and instruction on their completion,

• Registration of administrative statistical reports and instruction on their completion as normative acts in the Ministry of Justice of RA
