The FSO represents Swiss statistics in organisations responsible for the international statistical system by regularly giving Switzerland's opinion on strategical options chosen and by making official data available to organisations, thus enabling them to produce relevant analyses and publications.
The FSO also maintains relations with the Statistics Offices of neighbouring countries or those facing similar challenges by looking for possible synergies and joint solutions.
With this in mind, Switzerland cooperates with all major organisations active in this field. The FSO is the official contact point for other Swiss statistical agencies (Federal, cantonal, municipal) to international organisations.
