About CBS

The statutory task of Statistics Netherlands (CBS) is to produce official statistics and to disseminate the results from statistical research. CBS publishes reliable and coherent statistical information which is shared with public authorities, citizens, politicians, academics, the media and the private sector. In doing so, CBS supports public debates by delivering facts that matter.

CBS provides insights into current trends in Dutch society. The topics on which CBS publishes data are relevant to the public, e.g. economic growth and consumer prices, but also crime and leisure.

Aside from national (official) statistics production, CBS is also responsible for producing European (community) statistics. These determine the bulk of the statistical work programme.
