From 9 to 12 December, a delegation from Turkmenistan visited Estonia to study advanced digital solutions in the field of state statistics and economic management. This was reported by the Orient news agency.

The visit, organised by UNDP and the State Statistics Committee of Turkmenistan, was aimed at creating a modern digital system for analysing the national economy.

Representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank and the State Statistics Committee familiarised themselves with Estonia's experience of implementing the System of National Accounts as a tool for accurate, transparent and efficient management of economic processes. Particular attention was paid to the X-Road platform, which ensures secure automated data exchange between agencies and increases the reliability of statistics.

The transition to international standards (SNA 2008) will enable Turkmenistan to improve the quality of economic analysis, strengthen investor confidence and form a sustainable basis for long-term socio-economic development.
