A FEW CONSIDERATIONS

The Romanian Official Statistics was founded in 1859, the same year when the Romanian National State was created..

On July 12th, 1859, Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza signed the Royal Ordinance establishing the Central Office of Statistical Administration of coordinated by Dionisie Pop Marţian. For , a similar institution had been created on July 1st, 1859, led by the scholar Ion Ionescu de la Brad.

On August 2nd, 1862, the statistical offices of Wallachia and Moldavia got together and became the Department of Statistics of the United Principalities, based in .

Over the time, the development of statistics has naturally followed the path of our history, with ups and downs.

With the accession of to the European Union on January 1st, 2007 and with the harmonization with the acquis communautaire, Romanian statistics reoccupied its rightful place among the modern international statistics. The universally recognized performances were achieved through the Romanian statisticians’ efforts and with the support of the European Community.

The National Institute of Statistics of Romania is led by a President, assisted by three Vice-Presidents and a Secretary General, appointed by the Prime Minister's decision.

There are 8 Regional Statistical Directorates and 34 County Statistical Directorates that are subordinated to the NIS. The share of higher educated staff is 88.50%.

Through the efforts of our specialists in the territory the information are gathered, validated, processed, analyzed, and centralized and then delivered to the users of statistical data.

We invite you to read the following pages to get to know our structure and main activities, as well as some new aspects in the field of statistics. The presentation order of our directorates being a random one, we invite you to get acquainted first to that through which Romanian statistics are interconnected with the European Statistical System. ò ñ LET US INTRODUCE OURSELVES:
