Newsletter 2022-03
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to join an open and collaborative meeting of business statistics methodology experts on 23 March 2022 from 3 to 4.30 PM Central European Time (CET). This will be a virtual meeting.
Martijn de Winter and Koert van Bemmel (Statistics Netherlands) will speak about 'Lessons learnt from COVID-19 in Dutch Short Term Statistics: which measures worked, which didn't', covering data collection, processing and estimation aspects. A floor for discussion of the points raised will then open, for the participants to ask questions and share their own experiences.
On the meeting, we will also highlight some new developments within ENBES.
We are starting to plan the next in our series of biennial workshops, to be held in September 2023. We hope this will be a face-to-face event, as all previous workshops except the last, EESW21, have been. If you think your organisation would be interested in hosting the 2023 workshop, please email info@enbes.org. More information will follow at the online meeting.

The Topical Papers section of the ENBES repository contains a selection of working papers that address current issues, including the challenges with measuring economic changes during a recession, and difficulties with measuring inflation in sectors where expenditure has collapsed due to the lockdown. To contribute a paper or report to the repository, email repository@enbes.org. Shorter opinion pieces and comments are also welcome. Please send a file with your observations to the same email address. These will be added to the discussion and may be compiled with others on similar topics.
If you would like to know more about how ENBES works, or become involved, join us at the meeting on 23 March or contact us directly on info@enbes.org.
