The key priorities for the activities in the field of Harmonization and Exchange of Economic and Social Statistical Data and Information are defined by Goal 13: “Harmonization and Exchange of Economic and Social Statistical Data and Information” of the “BSEC Economic Agenda Towards and Enhanced BSEC Partnership”, updated in 2023.

The main activities are carried out by the BSEC Working Group on Harmonization and Exchange of Economic and Social Statistical Data and Information, established in 1992, with the aim to establish a system of exchange of statistical data and economic information, to harmonize the statistical methods and definitions, utilize international classifications, ensure data compatibility and create the basis for a common economic language in all activities of the BSEC Member States.

The BSEC Member States agreed initially to establish within the State Institute of Statistics of Türkiye, the BSEC Coordination Centre for the Exchange of Statistical Data and Economic Information.

The Meeting of the BSEC Ministers in charge of Economy, held in Yalta on 23 May 2013, adopted a Joint Declaration, calling upon the Member States to consider possibilities for reactivating and strengthening the work of the BSEC Coordination Centre for the Exchange of Statistical Data and Economic Information.

The Meeting of the Heads of Statistical Offices of the BSEC Member States was held on 23 June 2016, in Moscow, where they adopted a Joint Statement.

After some years of inactivity, thanks to the efforts of the Country Coordinator, the Republic of Bulgaria, this Working Group resumed its activities. Furthermore, under the guidance of the Republic of Türkiye, the Chairmanship in Office for the second semester of 2023, and the Secretariat, the Working Group continued its activities focused on the reactivation of the Coordination Center for the Exchange of Statistical Data and Economic Information and the collection of main economic and social indicators for the BSEC Countries.

On 23 November 2023, the meeting of the Working Group discussed the Compilation of Main Economic and Social Indicators for the BSEC Countries, prepared by the Coordination Center for the Exchange of Statistical Data and Economic Information was discussed and decided to publish it as soon as possible, after a last round of collection of data from the Member States.
