Agence Nationale de la Statistique - ANStat

What Agence Nationale de la Statistique - ANStat does

ANStat (Agence Nationale de la Statistique) is the national statistical authority of Côte d'Ivoire, operating under the supervision of the Ministry of State, Ministry of Planning, and headquartered in Abidjan. The agency is the legally designated producer of official statistics for the country, publishing macroeconomic indicators including quarterly GDP (Q1 2026 at 4.7% growth), the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Industrial Production Index (IPI), Commercial Activity Index (ICA), Industrial Producer Price Index (IPPI), and quarterly national accounts. It also manages demographic outputs from the RGPH 2021 General Census of Population and Housing, which underlies the reported population base of approximately 32.49 million as of September 2025.

The agency's technology platform comprises five integrated components: a Géoportail for spatial data visualization, a Centre de Calcul for statistical computation, an Open Data portal for public dataset access, a NADA microdata catalog, and a public API for programmatic data retrieval. All published data is released under a CC-BY 4.0 license. ANStat maintains institutional partnerships with UEMOA for regional methodological harmonization, and with Open Data for Africa and the African Data Hub for continental distribution. The agency is led by Director General Thiékoro Doumbia and employs approximately 120 staff.

ANStat operates as a public-sector entity funded through the national budget, not through commercial revenue. Its business model is the production and dissemination of official statistics as a public good, with no pricing, paid tiers, or monetization of outputs. Its primary user segments are government institutions, international organizations (IMF, World Bank, regional bodies), academic researchers, and the general public. Strategic positioning centers on open-data leadership within UEMOA and alignment with continental open-data standards.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Office for National Statistics (United Kingdom): The UK's ONS operates an extensive open-data platform with API access and micro-data archives broadly analogous to ANStat's portal architecture, but at vastly greater scale and digital maturity.
• U.S. Census Bureau: The U.S. Census Bureau sets global benchmarks for census methodology (decennial enumeration, demographic projections). ANStat's RGPH 2021 platform follows this institutional model.
• INSEE (Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques, France): France's NSO is the institutional reference for francophone statistical methodology; ANStat's classifications and harmonized indices (e.g., IHPC) trace back to INSEE/UEMOA frameworks, making it a methodological incumbent peer.

Direct peers

• INSD (Institut National de la Statistique et de la Démographie, Burkina Faso): Burkina Faso's NSO shares UEMOA membership and identical statistical harmonization obligations, producing a directly comparable product suite (IHPC, national accounts, census) on a smaller national scale.
• National Bureau of Statistics (Nigeria): Nigeria's NBS produces GDP rebasing, inflation, and labour statistics for Africa's largest economy, paralleling ANStat's product mix. Comparable in mandate scope (population, prices, national accounts) though operating at significantly larger scale.
• Kenya National Bureau of Statistics: KNBS is East Africa's leading NSO, publishing consumer price indices, national accounts, and census data via a comparable portal-and-API infrastructure. Relevant as a more digitally mature peer benchmark.
• ANSD (Agence Nationale de la Statistique et de la Démographie, Senegal): Senegal's national statistics agency operates under the same francophone West African statistical framework (UEMOA) as ANStat, producing comparable demographic, economic, and social indicators. Most direct functional peer in the region.
• Ghana Statistical Service: Ghana's official statistics agency conducts censuses, economic accounts, and price indices analogous to ANStat, serving as a near-identical national statistics peer in West Africa with overlapping UEMOA/ECOWAS reporting obligations.

Others

• World Bank Open Data: World Bank Data aggregates and redistributes national statistics from agencies like ANStat; it is a downstream consumer and harmonization layer rather than a producer, but materially shapes demand for ANStat's outputs.
• Eurostat: Eurostat functions as a supranational statistical authority coordinating member-state NSOs under harmonized frameworks; relevant as the architectural analogue ANStat operates within at the UEMOA/WAEMU level.
