Statistical Institute of Catalonia

It operates under the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Catalan government and provides data essential for regional planning, economic analysis, and decision-making across various sectors.

The institute launched several key surveys and statistical projects aimed at addressing the specific needs of Catalonia’s diverse population and economy.

Over time, it has evolved into a comprehensive statistical agency, integrating modern methodologies and technologies to enhance the quality and accessibility of its data.

The data inform regional development plans, labor market interventions, education policies, and environmental management strategies.

Moreover, Idescat’s work supports Catalonia’s efforts to position itself as a competitive economy within Spain and the European Union by providing key indicators that highlight regional strengths and challenges.
