To the statisticians of Ukraine
Please accept my sincere greetings on the occasion of your occupational holiday the Statistics Day of Ukraine!
Statistics has become an inherent and fundamental constituent of the Ukrainian Statehood. It is a crucial criterion for the formation of the civic society. Celebration of the occupational holiday testifies a substantial contribution of the branch workers into the socio-economic development of Ukraine.
Activity of the experts of the State statistics bodies and personnel of the statistical services of other authorities, enterprises and organizations forms a reliable information base for the demands of State and regional administration. Under the complicated socio-economic transformations, an unbiased and objective assessment of results assumes even greater significance.
The thorough everyday work of the statisticians fully satisfies the State and public needs in the information and acts as a pledge of sustainable integration of Ukraine into the global economic dimension.
The competence of statisticians, their devotion to the occupation, responsibility and persistence provoke deep respect and deserve sincere gratitude.
On the occasion of this holiday, I wish you all the best.
