  • Statistics-Flash:  to inform about the results of monthly and quarterly surveys (economic conjuncture, labour market estimates, resident population);
  • Statistics-Report: to disseminate  new results of annual surveys on social, demographic and environmental phenomena;
  • Information notes which contain methodological updates, clarifications or general communications.
