Statistics for Accession, Enhanced Engagement and other Non-member Economies

The Statistics Directorate's "outreach" programme focuses on Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Russia, and South Africa but includes South Eastern European, Latin American, Asian Pacific and Commonwealth of Independent State countries. In addition in 2007, a formal enlargement process was launched with Chile, Estonia, Israel, Russia and Slovenia to assess each country's position with respect to the relevant OECD instruments, standards and benchmarks, as well as other considerations where appropriate. A review of statistics and statistics offices forms an important part of the process.
