A Year of Institutional Transformation

The year 2025 stands as a defining milestone in the institutional evolution of the Somalia National Bureau of Statistics and the broader National Statistical System. As Somalia advances implementation of the National Transformation Plan (2025–2029) and lays strategic foundations for Vision 2060, the demand for credible, timely and internationally harmonized statistics has assumed unprecedented importance.

In an increasingly complex development landscape, official statistics are no longer peripheral technical outputs but strategic national imperatives. Official statistics inform macroeconomic management, underpin fiscal planning, guide social investment, strengthen governance accountability and enable Somalia to report authoritatively on its national priorities and global commitments, including the Sustainable Development Goals.
