Ahead of World Statistics Day (20/10), @isi-official.bsky.social has released an official statement: "No Statistics, No Deal" In celebration, SSA has a webinar tomorrow, featuring @bharrap.bsky.social + more: www.statsoc.org.au/event-6365055 #WorldStatisticsDay #DataForDevelopment #TrustInData

No Statistics, No Deal
Statistics are more than numbers; statistics are society’s mirror. Without reliable statistics,
democracy falters, markets waver, and citizens lose the means to hold power to account.
Reliable figures on growth, jobs, inflation, health, environment and education allow people to
judge for themselves, based on impartial evidence rather than political spin. When statistics
vanish, speculation fills the gap — and trust disappears.
Statistics underpin international scientific cooperation in fields ranging from vaccine innovation
to climate research and sustainable development by providing accessible and shared sources
of evidence. When their integrity is undermined, mistrust can spread across borders. An attack
on statistics and science in one country can quickly become a political export, replicated
elsewhere by actors with similar objectives.
