### Methodological soundness
- The methodological soundness of statistics in Tunisia is consistent in several areas with outdated international statistical standards.
- There is a stated need to proceed quickly with the migration to the new standards.

### Institutional responsibilities
- The Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) is responsible for the collection, processing, and dissemination of monetary and balance of payments statistics.

### Accuracy, reliability, and dissemination
- The accuracy and reliability of statistics in Tunisia are broadly adequate.
- Adequate national accounts data and some brief methodological notes are disseminated, albeit with no analyses accompanying the data.

### Key implications and policy recommendations
- Migrate statistical practices to the new international standards promptly to replace outdated standards.
- Enhance dissemination practices by supplementing methodological notes with analytical commentary and data analysis to improve user understanding.
