What Fundação de Economia e Estatística does

The Fundação de Economia e Estatística, currently operating as the Departamento de Economia e Estatística (DEE/SPGG), is a state government statistical and economic research department under the Secretaria de Planejamento, Governança e Gestão of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Porto Alegre with 66 employees, DEE produces and disseminates authoritative economic, demographic, and social indicators covering all 497 municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul, including the Idese (Sustainable Development Index), Municipal and State GDP (annual and quarterly), population statistics, agribusiness performance, exports, the IMERS synthetic index, and an Input-Output Matrix.

DEE operates a multi-layered product portfolio across three categories: (1) socioeconomic and economic indicators such as Idese, PIB Municipal, PIB RS Anual/Trimestral, Population, Agronegócio, Exportações, IMERS, Matriz de Insumo-Produto, and Turismo; (2) data visualization and BI platforms including DataRS, BI Setorial, IdeseVis, PIBVis, PopVis, MEG, IMERSVis, MUP RS, Painel do Agronegócio, and Painel da Economia Criativa; and (3) publications and reports such as RS em Números, Boletim de Conjuntura, Boletim de Trabalho, Cadernos ODS, DEE Setorial, Notas Técnicas, Textos para Discussão, Relatórios Fipe, and RS no Censo 2022. The technical platform is unified through shared data infrastructure centered on the DataRS portal, built and maintained in partnership with PROCERGS (the state IT center).

DEE does not operate a commercial business model: all services, data products, and publications are provided free of charge to the public, funded entirely through the Rio Grande do Sul state government budget. Its customers are state and municipal government agencies (primary), academic institutions and researchers, and the broader private sector and civil society accessing public data. Strategic partnerships include PROCERGS for technology infrastructure, FIPE for joint economic reporting, and participation in the Comitê de Dados do Rio Grande do Sul for open government data coordination.
