On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Poland’s accession to the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Central Statistical Office has prepared a jubilee publication with information on the goals, scope of activities and methods of work as well as some major events in its history. The main part of the publication is devoted to the analysis of changes in the socio-economic situation of Poland during our membership in the OECD. The analytical description is enriched with a cross-sectional collection of information on the socio-economic situation of the member countries in the form of ranking.

It contains basic indices of the socio-economic situation of the country, presented in the monthly, quarterly and annual series, including, among others, the national accounts, information on demography, the labour market, wages and salaries, social benefits, prices, money supply, public finances and finances of non-financial enterprises, investment outlays, agriculture, industry, construction, transport, domestic and foreign trade, along with monthly or quarterly data characterising the socio-economic situation of voivodships and EU countries.
