Industrial Statistics Seminar For Good Of Economy
By James Kon & Sonia K.

Bandar Seri Begawan - A two-day seminar on industrial statistics organised by the government of Japan ended yesterday at the Institute of Public Services.

The event was the result of consultations between the Asean Economic Ministers and the Japanese Minister of Economy Trade and Industry.

Attended by 40 Bruneian government officials in the field of Statistical Affairs, the programme's main goal was to strengthen its participants' knowledge and applicable skills as a step towards ensuring a successful economic census.

Mr Sakae Yoshida, Director of Statistics Planning, from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, presented a talk on the "Statistical System in Japan and Industrial Statistics of METI", while Dr Wang Zai Zhe, Professor of Rissho University, delivered the "Chinese Industrial Statistics System and Economic Census".

Mr Hashimoto Itsuo, Ambassador of Japan to Brunei, also emphasised the importance of drawing up industrial statistics to retain sustainable development as well as to objectively evaluate and monitor projects or policies before and after implementation.

The rationale behind this is that in due course, the cycle of performance's improvements due to feedbacks would eventually follow and be established into a more concrete form.

Therefore, the public and private sector as well as individuals need to adequately plan and be aware of climate changes in the economic structure. To do so, accurate statistics are essential.

Mr Hashimoto Itsuo also hoped that this would further strengthen the bilateral cooperation between the two countries. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
