INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE ESTADÍSTICA (INE)

Description

The National Institute of Statistics (INE) is the public agency responsible for producing, coordinating and disseminating official statistics in Paraguay. It coordinates the National Statistical System (SISEN), which brings together data generated by various public institutions, ensuring its quality, consistency and comparability.

Its main functions include conducting national population, housing and economic censuses, as well as regular surveys such as the Continuous Permanent Household Survey (EPHC), which gathers information on employment, income, poverty and living conditions.

INE also produces economic statistics on productive units and innovation, and promotes public access to information through open data and geospatial initiatives, providing key inputs for designing and monitoring public policy in Paraguay.
