WILLEMSTAD - The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), in accordance with legal requirements, is responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating official statistics related to the social and economic landscape of Curaçao. The CBS has observed that data on social media platforms does not correspond to the official figures published by the CBS on its website. In some cases, these figures are incorrectly attributed to the CBS.
The CBS emphasizes the importance of accurate interpretation and verification of the statistics it publishes within the correct context. Given this concern, the CBS urges individuals to consult its website, www.cbs.cw, to verify the validity of data when using statistical information. The CBS website serves as a reliable source, ensuring the integrity of the data in accordance with statistical laws to which the CBS is bound.
By using the website, individuals can ensure that they are using and disseminating information based on official figures. This is essential for maintaining a well-informed community and preventing the spread of non-official information that could distort the social and economic reality of Curaçao.
