Improvements Working plan Conclusions

The New Role of INEGI

Mexico is a federal country with a division of powers: Executive, Legislative and Judicial

INEGI was a federal government office that belonged to the Executive power

Now INEGI is in transit to be an autonomous institution, it means that it does not depend of the Federal Government

In its new role, INEGI has to coordinate the production, standardization and disemination of all statistical information of national interest

The National System of Statistical and Geographical Information (SNIEG)

Production of statistical and geographical information of national interest

Dissemination of information

Promotion of knowledge and use of information

Preservation of information

International information exchange

Mexico is collaborating with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs (SRE) in a program to establish a unique point for the dissemination of statistical information at international level

It implies that all Federal Agencies will have a new mechanism for the interchange of statistical and geographical information

Diagnosing the exchange of information between OECD and Mexico

Mexico has to report statistical information to OECD

Information is being sent by several Federal Agencies to offices of the OECD

Only part of the information exchange is correctly identified

We need to develop new ways of coordination

Early experiences

Access to indicators of INEGI’s echonomical database

Objective: Information reports of economical and financial indicators from INEGI directly to the database of the Treasure Deparment (SHCP)

Strategy: Implementation of a mechanism to access the INEGI database and transform the results using web services technology

Collaboration efforts with OECD

1. Portal to integrate the statistical information exchanged with OECD

2. Participation in the SDMX implementation pilot project (with other countries)

3. Transformation of the information in the portal to SDMX format and incorporation of web services technology

International information exchange portal

International coordination through the portal

International data collection

Working plan

Integration of information from mexican agencies that has to be sent to the OECD

Gradual transformation of data files to SDMX format

In the near future we are planning to establish web services to automate information exchange with those agencies

Tasks that remain to be done with international partners and colleagues

Strong and efficient communication ties

Collaboration groups for the exchange of experiences

Joint review of processes to speed up the whole project

Joint work to get the goals done

Conclusions

Mexico is in the way of implementing SDMX as a tool to improve the internal information interchange

The international exchange will be strongly supported by the application of standards like SDMX

Our efforts are not limited to technological issues, we need agreements with agencies, working frameworks, standardized catalogs, common definitions among other things

We need to create international team to achieve more challenging goals in a relative short time and with few resources

Conclusions

SDMX will allow us to fulfill compromises with international agencies

But, above all, we pretend to have an effective way to collect, to process and to interchange statistical and geographical information among all the levels of government: federal, state and municipal
