Planning, monitoring and development

Statistics Finland operates under the Ministry of Finance and is managed by results, but is independently responsible for its activities, services and statistics. The key documents guiding the planning of activities are the performance agreement, the framework plan and the budget proposal. The key monitoring data are the financial statements, especially the annual report, and the statement from the ministry concerning the financial statements and annual report.

The documents are available only in Finnish in our web service.

Plans

The agency’s operational targets for the coming year are specified in a performance agreement between Statistics Finland and the Ministry of Finance. The achievement of the targets is reported on biannually.
