The draft of the Handbook on Data Template and Metadata for Short-Term Statistics has been prepared by the United Nations Statistics Division as part of the International Programme on Short-Term Statistics endorsed by the United Nations Statistical Commission. The Handbook aims to elaborate methodological descriptions and the use of individual short-term statistics, explain the statistical and analytical properties of short-term statistics, why they are relevant in explaining economic activity and how they relate to an integrated set of short-term statistics of quarterly national accounts and component data.
After reviewing the draft Handbook, please send your comments using the comments form to sna@un.org by Thursday, 31 December 2015.
