Details

The major issue related to the work of the State Statistical Office is that there is no recent census. This fact makes all data less valuable and affects their accuracy. Data is not available in bulk. Every indicator must be downloaded separately. Example here: http://makstat.stat.gov.mk/pxweb2007bazi/Database/Statistics%20by%20subject/Gross%20Domestic%20Product%20and%20Gross%20Fixed%20Capital%20Formation/Gross%20Domestic%20Product/Gross%20Domestic%20Product.asp
