Indicator description

The Statistical Performance Indicators (SPI) assess the maturity and performance of national statistical systems in five key areas, called pillars. The five pillars are:

1. Data Use: Statistics have value only if they are used. A successful statistical system produces data that are used widely and frequently.
2. Data Services: A range of services connects data users to producers and facilitate dialogues between them, thus building trust and a sense of value.
3. Data Products: The dialogues between users and producers drive the design and range of statistical products and their accuracy, timeliness, frequency, comparability, and levels of disaggregation. The products signal whether countries are able to produce indicators related to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
4. Data Sources: To create useful products, the statistical system needs to draw on sources inside and outside the government. Data collection thus goes beyond the typical censuses and surveys to include administrative and geospatial data as well as data generated by private firms and citizens.
5. Data Infrastructure: A mature statistical system has well-developed hard infrastructure (legislation, governance, standards) and soft infrastructure (skills, partnerships) as well as the financial resources to deliver useful—and widely used—data products and services.

Each of these pillars is supported by four or five dimensions and uses defined methods and indicators. (World Bank Group)

The series labelled as "Canada" represents the overall SPI score for Canada.

Calculations

The scores for each pillar are calculated using the scores for the underlying dimensions, which in turn are derived from the values of their indicators. The overall SPI score is an average of the scores for the five pillars. For the overall score, a country can achieve a maximum of 100 and a minimum of 0. A score of 100 would indicate that a country has every single element that the SPI measures in place, and a score of 0 that none are in place. (World Bank Group)
Comments and limitations

The overall SPI score is currently available for countries from 2016 onwards. Some indicators have data going back to 2004. (World Bank Group)
