Mrs. Kotzeva is a member of the International Statistical Institute and at the forthcoming Congress, she will present a paper entitled “Tools for Communicating on new Challenges in Official Statistics: Examples from Bulgaria”.

The focus is on the new challenges for official statistics related to better measurement of social progress, well-being and sustainability.
