Bank of Italy launches a more accessible statistics portal
The Bank of Italy is launching a new statistics portal on Tuesday, October 20, European Statistics Day.
Instead of starting with a publication, users can look for data by topic, such as households, credit or public finances.
The portal highlights selected indicators and explains them in clear language, aiming to serve people without specialist knowledge as well as those with visual disabilities or assistive technology.
Interactive charts and tables are also intended to help experienced users work with the data more efficiently.
The bank says access to reliable, clearly explained statistics matters more as information sources multiply and generative AI becomes more widely used.
The existing Statistical Database will remain the main place to access the bank’s full range of statistical series, and the portal will also link to the Research Data Center’s microdata; statistical production is unchanged.
The Bank of Italy is launching a new statistics portal to make its economic and financial data easier to find and use.
The portal will be available from 20 October, European Statistics Day.
Users can search by topic and find selected indicators with explanations, rather than starting from a publication containing the data.
It includes interactive charts and tables and is designed to be accessible to people without specialist knowledge and to users of assistive technologies.
The portal complements the Bank’s Statistical Database, which remains the main source for its full collection of statistical series.
