The need for cultural statistics is of paramount importance, as it serves national statistical offices, ministries of culture and various cultural and creative stakeholders, supporting them in identifying, characterizing and measuring the economic and social impacts generated by artists, performers, audiences, social groups and cultural communities.

UIS is launching this year, on July 10th, its global consultation on the revision of the 2009 UNESCO  Framework for Culture Statistics (FCS), a conceptual and methodological framework designed to facilitate socioeconomic analysis in culture.
