Scores range from 0 to 100.
According to last year’s results, Kazakhstan’s national statistical system scored 84.9 points. The overall improvement was driven by higher scores in the components “Data Use” (+10 points), “Data Sources” (+10.2), “Data Infrastructure” (+10), and “Data Services” (+1.1).
Norway, Sweden, and Canada topped the SPI-2024 ranking.
