Statistics matter. For you too.

The Federal Statistical Office (BFS) is the competence center for public statistics and the main actor in the Swiss data ecosystem. It produces statistical information, works towards data harmonization through national data management, and develops processes derived from data science to evolve data interpretation. The BFS thus contributes to the formation of public opinion and makes an important contribution to modern democratic governance.
