It presents the existing position of per capita income, unemployment, population growth rate, housing, schooling, medical facilities etc. of a country. For better understanding and exact description of complex data it is suitable to present in tabular, diagrammatic and graphic forms. Relevant, reliable and accurate data on demographic, social, environmental and economic aspects will be helpful for policy making, evaluation and assessment of the achievement at national and international levels. Bangladesh has already been recognized as an active member of the global statistical community and especially as the pro-active participant of the UN Statistical Commission. Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) has already enlarged the dimension of data collection for official statistics to some extents under the administrative support and guidance of the Statistics and Informatics Division (SID) of the Ministry of Planning. In this context, I am delighted to know that BBS has taken a unique step forward to publish the 36th issue of the Statistical Pocket Book of Bangladesh. It reflects the majority of statistics compiled by BBS and includes data compiled by other institutions. This is worth mentioning that the publication would enrich and harmonize policy making process of the nation and it would, therefore, be a great endeavor on the way to create a prosperous digital Bangladesh. BBS has been experiencing in publishing such an annual publication since 1978. This publication comprises of fifteen chapters in a brief manner and provides most useful summary statistics on area, population, demographic, socio-economic characteristics of population, education, health, agriculture and other aspect of our country. To keep it handy the Pocket Book covers only some selected years and is limited only statistics most frequently sought after or referred to. For complete set of data, users can refer to the volume of Statistical Year Book of Bangladesh, 2015 which contains data in much detailed form. I would like to compliment the united effort, honest devotion, efficiency and high quality of works of Mr. Mohammad Abdul Wazed, Director General of BBS, his officials and staff for bringing out this valuable publication. I also appreciate the Additional Secretaries and other colleagues in SID as well as the members of the Editors’ Forum for their meticulous and persistent labor in bringing out this publication. I am confident that the information contained in this publication will continue to support the efforts of Government, development partners, our public representatives, policy-makers, officials, planners, researchers, business community, students and all other data users.
