The 50th session of the United Nations Statistical Commission established a Friends of the Chair Group (FOCG) on Economic Statistics. The Commission requested that the Friends of the Chair Group convene meetings over the next year to discuss whether the current planned updates meet the needs of a future state of the system of economic statistics and whether gaps exist. The Commission also asked the Friends of the Chair Group to examine whether the current governance and infrastructure supporting the system of economic statistics is sufficient to meet the need for an increasingly responsive and comprehensive system of economic statistics. The Friends of the Chair Group has been asked to report back at the 51st session of the United Nations Statistical Commission.

This second meeting will be used to: evaluate the feedback received from various fora via the global user consultation of statistical groups; define the system of economic statistics; articulate any changes needed to the governance arrangements and statistical operations and infrastructure of the system; tasks and responsibilities for 2020 and agree on the content of the report to the 51st session of the United Nations Statistical Commission.
