Welcome to the homepage of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia!

The Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (hereinafter SORS) is the main producer of national statistics and the cohesive force in this field. In addition to linking and harmonising the statistical system, its most important tasks are international co-operation, determination of methodological and classification standards, anticipation of users' needs, collection, processing and dissemination of data and taking care of their confidentiality.

SORS implements the activity of national statistics on the basis of the National Statistics Act together with authorised producers determined by the Medium-Term Programme of Statistical Surveys 2003-2007. In the organisation chart of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, SORS is directly responsible to the Prime Minister. The act determines that SORS's Director General has autonomy as regards professional and methodological issues.

The mission of national statistics in Slovenia is to provide to public administration bodies and organisations, the economy and the public quality, timely, temporally, spatially and internationally comparable data on the situation and trends in the economic, demographic and social fields, as well as in the field of environment and natural resources. Data for national needs and international dissemination are provided at optimum costs. By respecting statistical confidentiality, it improves the users' trust and strengthens professional independence.

We would like to thank all partners co-operating with us in the process of producing data, especially members of the Statistical Council and statistical advisory committees, users and data providers from enterprises and households as well as keepers of public data collections.

Quality of data and related services, respect of users and strengthening of their trust are and will remain our long-term commitments.

Thank you for your trust.

Irena Križman, M.Sc.
Director General
