Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT)

What Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) does

ELSTAT is the Hellenic Statistical Authority, Greece's independent national statistical service, operating under Law 3832/2010 and EU Regulation 223/2009. It produces official statistics across the economy, demography, society, agriculture, industry, environment, trade, and labor markets, and serves as the coordinator of the Hellenic Statistical System (ELSS), which aggregates outputs from multiple public agencies. Its primary customers are the Greek government and ministries, Eurostat, academic researchers, media, and the general public.

The organization operates a portfolio of services rather than a unified software product: on-demand statistical data provision, microdata files (Public Use Files and Scientific Use Files), High Value open datasets, digital cartographic data, e-publications (e.g., "The Greek Economy," "Greece in Figures"), interactive data visualizations, censuses, and a statistical literacy program. Underlying technology includes web-based portals (statistics.gr, dlib.statistics.gr, elstatmis.statistics.gr), CAS-authenticated data request systems, online survey platforms (Xenios Zeus for tourism, ICT usage surveys, agricultural surveys, Intrastat declarations), and RSS-driven press release distribution. The organization is GDPR-compliant and aligned with ISO 27001, ISO 9001, and the European Statistics Code of Practice.

ELSTAT's business model is government funding through the Greek state budget, not commercial revenue. It publishes annual balance sheets (2011–2024) and a Pricing Policy for Statistical Products, charging for certain premium data and microdata access. Headcount is 207 employees distributed across a Piraeus headquarters, a regional headquarters in Thessaloniki, a Southern Greece directorate in Athens, and 25+ regional statistical service offices across Greek peripheries. Leadership is appointed through an international selection process involving Eurostat, ESGAB, and the Hellenic Parliament, reinforcing its institutional independence from direct government control.
