The Statistical Institute of Catalonia and the Barcelona City Council’s Municipal Data Office agree to create a working group for the development and improvement of experimental statistics

OMD2025

At the end of 2025, the Statistical Institute of Catalonia (Idescat) launched a new line of statistics –experimental statistics– following the strategy of the European Statistical System, in order to drive innovation and respond to emerging information needs.

The Municipal Data Office (OMD) has experience with some of the experimental statistics recently published by Idescat and is also interested in continuing and expanding the scope of these new statistics. To this end, both institutions have agreed to establish a joint working group between Idescat and the OMD. Throughout 2026, the group will address the following projects:

  • Household income and purchasing power of the population of Catalonia
  • Wage statistics by neighbourhood
  • Methodological improvement of the territorial wage statistics
