Opinions on strengthening and improving departmental statistical work
In order to implement the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Second, Third and Fourth Plenary Sessions of the 18th Central Committee, implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and further improve the level of departmental statistical work, the following opinions are hereby put forward on strengthening and improving departmental statistical work.
1. The importance and basic requirements of strengthening and improving departmental statistical work
Our country's government statistics consists of national statistics, departmental statistics and local statistics. Departmental statistics are an important part of government statistics and undertake important statistical investigation tasks related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Strengthening and improving departmental statistics is conducive to improving the quality of basic data, and is conducive to promoting economic quality and efficiency upgrading, improving macro-control and scientific decision-making. In recent years, various departments have actively promoted statistical reform and construction, continuously improved statistical levels, departmental statistics have made great progress, and contributed to economic development. Improvement of people's livelihood and social progress provide strong information support.
However, departmental statistics still have problems such as weak statistical foundation, incomplete coverage of survey contents, overlapping survey items, inconsistent statistical standards, loose organization and implementation, inadequate information sharing, and even conflicting data, which affect the performance of departmental statistical functions. To strengthen and improve departmental statistics, we must closely focus on the central work of the party and the state, and in accordance with the requirements of unified norms, reasonable division of labor, and cooperation and sharing, accelerate the improvement of the construction system, scientific methods, rigorous behavior, and controllable processes. A departmental statistical survey system with a high degree of informatization can better serve macroeconomic decision-making, serve economic and social development, and serve enterprises and the public.
2. Establish a unified directory of basic statistical units
(1) Establish a directory of national basic statistical units. The National Bureau of Statistics should work with the compilation, civil affairs, taxation, industry and commerce, quality inspection and other departments to make full use of the national legal entity information resource library and directory information of relevant departments to establish a unified and complete national directory of basic statistical units that does not duplicate or omit information, has authentic information, is updated in a timely manner, and is reciprocally shared, and provides a survey unit library and sampling frame for various censuses and surveys targeting units. Departments can refine and expand basic unit information based on the national statistical basic unit directory and, on the premise of ensuring consistency, form a departmental statistical survey unit directory.
(2) Improve the maintenance and update mechanism. The establishment, civil affairs, taxation, industry and commerce, quality inspection and other departments at all levels regularly provide the administrative registration information of units mastered by their departments to the statistical departments at the same level. Departments that use the information in the national statistical basic unit directory should promptly inform the statistics department of the changes in the units they have mastered. The statistical department comprehensively updates the national statistical basic unit directory based on the results of the national economic census, and conducts daily maintenance based on regular statistical survey data and departmental unit data to ensure that the unit information is true and accurate.
(3) Sharing directory information on demand in accordance with the law. Based on the functions and investigation needs of relevant departments, the statistical department shall sign an inter-departmental agreement and authorize it to use the directory of basic statistical units in the country or provide directory information query services in accordance with the law. Departments participating in the construction and maintenance of the directory may use the latest directory information in the relevant scope after being authorized in accordance with the law. In principle, the statistical surveys of units in each department should be taken from the directory of basic statistical units in the country or the directory of departmental statistical survey units.
(1) Improve the statistical standard system. Based on the economic and social development and the needs of national economic accounting, learn from internationally accepted statistical standards, and follow the principle of standards first, urgent need first, formulate national statistical standards and departmental statistical standards in accordance with the law, and accelerate the establishment of a scientific, unified, complete, and applicable statistical standard system. When formulating statistical standards, we should fully listen to the opinions of relevant departments, statistical users, survey subjects, statisticians, experts and scholars, etc., to improve the scientific level of statistical standard formulation. Promote the unification and standardization of statistical standards. The National Bureau of Statistics establishes a government statistical standards library and publishes non-confidential statistical standards in a timely manner. Accelerate the establishment of a national statistical survey project metadata database to achieve unified standardization and electronic management of statistical design and data collection, processing, and publication.
(2) Standardize the use of statistical standards. Departmental statistical surveys should give priority to the use of national statistical standards. If there are no national statistical standards, departmental statistical standards approved in accordance with the law can be used. Establish a statistical standard implementation supervision system and an implementation evaluation system, conduct regular inspections and scientific evaluations, and revise or abolish them in a timely manner.
(1) Improve the procedures for establishing departmental statistical survey projects. The establishment of departmental statistical survey projects should be in line with the responsibilities of the department, reflect the principle of streamlined efficiency, fully solicit opinions from relevant parties, and submit for approval or filing according to procedures to avoid repeated surveys.

Establish a regular evaluation mechanism for the statistical survey system and continuously improve the system based on actual implementation.
(2) Establish a public disclosure system for departmental statistical survey projects. The National Bureau of Statistics should promptly publish a catalog of non-confidential departmental statistical survey projects to facilitate public inquiry and use.

(2) Continuously strengthen the construction of departmental statistical teams. Each department must clearly define the agency responsible for departmental statistics or set up full-time and part-time statisticians in internal agencies and designate statistical managers to ensure the effective implementation of statistical work. Departments where departmental statistical functions are undertaken by multiple internal agencies must clearly define the agency that coordinates statistical work and is responsible for the centralized management of statistical work in the department.
