National Statistics Office of Georgia

The National Statistics Office (GeoStat) (Georgian: საქართველოს სტატისტიკის ეროვნული სამსახური, sak'art'velos statistikis erovnuli samsakhuri; საქსტატი, sak'stati) is an agency in charge of national statistics and responsible for carrying out population, agricultural and other censuses in Georgia.

Materials from population censuses made in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in various regions of the country have survived to the present day.

The bureau's functions included development of materials for agricultural census, accounting of the available land and determining of norms for its distribution.

On the basis of law enacted by the Constituent Assembly on July 25, 1919, a Republican Statistical Committee was formed within the same ministry.

Its principal purposes are collection, editing, processing, storage, analysis and dissemination of exhaustive, up to date, reliable and com¬pa¬rable statistical data.
