Statistics Indonesia

The Central Bureau of Statistics is a non-ministerial government agency directly responsible to the President. Previously, BPS was the Central Bureau of Statistics, established under Act No. 6 of 1960 on Census and Law Number 7 Year 1960 on Statistics. As a substitute for both laws, Law No. 16 of 1997 on Statistics is stipulated. Based on this Act which is followed up with the law below it, formally the name of the Central Bureau of Statistics was changed to the Central Bureau of Statistics.
