|subject matter area). |

|Formal (using internal National Training Centre in Statistics, Public Finance School and outside experts) and on-the-job |

|training in the methodology and compilation methods is provided, including participation in seminars, courses, and workshops |

|arranged by regional and international organizations (EUROSTAT, FMI, CEF) to further knowledge of statistical practices and |

|providing easy access to professional literature. |
