Enhancing the use of administrative data sources
While data from primary sources continue to play leading role
in producing economic statistics, usage of administrative data
is increasing. Thus efforts must be made to enhance the
cooperative arrangements between DOSM and administrative
agencies. Furthermore, the DOSM must address barriers in
terms of quality associated with the use of administrative data
as basis for official statistics with respect to coverage,
timeliness, frequency, validity, reliability, consistency, legality
and confidentiality constraints.
