Abstract

The important evolution of statistical research in Italy and the Bank of Italy's indebtedness to the statistical profession are noted. The Bank of Italy's collection, dissemination and use of statistical data are discussed. It is explained how the analysis of statistically established facts is the precondition for economic policy decisions although such decisions rarely follow unequivocally and mechanically from such analysis.
