Description

Argentina’s National Statistical Office was formed on 7 January 1894. The organization began collecting data on population, industry, and agriculture. Its reports helped the government understand economic and social trends across the country. The office introduced more standardized methods of measurement and analysis. These improvements supported informed policymaking as Argentina expanded its infrastructure and trade. Over time, the institution evolved into the modern statistics agency that continues to provide essential national data. Its early foundations were crucial for planning during a dynamic period of national growth.
