October 20 was announced as World Statistics Day in 2010, and the idea comes from the repetition of numbers in the date - 20.10.2010. On July 7 of the same year, the UN General Assembly, with its resolution, set the date for the statistical day. According to the Resolution, the holiday will be celebrated every five years. Bulgaria is one of the 55 co-authors of the resolution.
In 2016, when the Director General of Eurostat was Mariana Kotzeva, October 20 was announced and celebrated for the first time as European Statistics Day, celebrated every two years under a different motto.
