A major source of official statistics is the National Statistical System, and in particular the National Statistical Institute (NSI). Another part of the necessary information is provided by information systems of the National Social Security Institute (NSSI), the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), the National Centre for Public Health and Analyses (NCPHA), the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science (MEYS), the National Revenue Agency (NRA) and others.
To secure additional statistical information needed for the regional profiles, an independent survey was conducted at municipal level. The aim is to generate information that cannot be provided by existing public or other sources for a variety of reasons - it is not produced, it is not up-to-date, it is confidential, etc.
