Furthermore, progress was made on the commitment to adopt international standards, improve the production of indicators, and deepen regional cooperation, in order to have more reliable and timely information for the formulation and evaluation of public policies.
During the Conference’s closing session, the Dominican Republic took over as Chair of the Statistical Conference of the Americas for the 2009-2011period. The new Executive Committee is also made up of the Bahamas, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, France and Uruguay.
