The members of the Scientific Council for Statistics and Economic Studies met at the Ministry of State on Tuesday 11 July.

During the session the Council’s President, Pierre-André Chiappori, first gave an overview of recent developments at the Monegasque Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (IMSEE). Alexandre Bubbio, Director of IMSEE, then spoke about the work of the department, including:

• publications and new developments in data visualization
• the manufacturing industry barometer
• the population census
• the 2024 ESPAD survey
• IMSEE communications and activities

The members of the Council then shared their areas of interest and drew up new recommendations on the statistics to be developed and the actions to be implemented in order to optimise an effective statistical system.

“The progress made in terms of statistical data in the Principality is absolutely spectacular. I congratulate IMSEE teams for their extensive contributions year after year to these results. In the upcoming months, IMSEE will be tasked with conducting the Monegasque population census which, contrary to previous years, will rely on existing administrative data.  The Institute will also be part of the next ESPAD survey on addictions,” noted Pierre-André Chiappori at the end of the presentation.

At the end of the meeting, H.E. Mr Pierre Dartout, Minister of State, hosted a lunch for participants. 

The Scientific Council for Statistics and Economic Studies provides advice to the Minister of State, who guarantees the Council’s independence. It takes a view on the studies to be carried out, the state of the statistical system and the annual survey programme. Its 11 members are drawn from civil society, assemblies and the Administration.
