A new portal for statistics about Maori has been launched on Statistics New Zealand's website. The new section provides a snapshot of Maori in New Zealand and gives an insight into their well-being and development.
The site includes statistics on a broad range of topics, including Maori agricultural participation; life satisfaction; culture and identity; Maori language; education; employment and unemployment; disability; housing; population; internal migration; and time use.
The resource, named Te Ao Marama 2012, is bilingual and available at http://www.stats.govt.nz/maori

New Zealand Official Yearbook
Statistics New Zealand has decided to stop producing a printed version of the New Zealand Official Yearbook.
A press release from Statistics New Zealand states that "Research shows that the way people search for information has changed dramatically. Increasingly, people expect to find the most up-to-date data online, meaning that providing a book with static data is no longer in tune with their needs. As a result, we have seen a significant reduction in sales of the Yearbook in recent years and consider that the costs now outweigh the benefits of producing a printed version."
Statistics New Zealand will be looking at ways of making the kind of information previously found in the Yearbook available online, but note that an online Yearbook may not be an exact replication of the printed version. They plan to consult widely during our investigations and welcome any suggestions on how to make Yearbook data and information available in a way that best meets its readers' needs. If you have any feedback please email info@stats.govt.nz
The Institute of Commonwealth Studies Library holds a full run of the print Official Yearbooks, first published in 1892. These remain an important historical record and a quick reference source for historical statistics throughout New Zealand's history.

Central Bank of Barbados statistics
CENTRAL BANK OF BARBADOS ANNOUNCES MAJOR CHANGES TO THE PRESENTATION OF ITS ON-LINE STATISTICS
Users of the Central Bank of Barbados’ statistics can now access them more easily.
The Bank has recently announced that anyone can download from its website – http://data.centralbank.org.bb/ – most of its statistical data in Excel format. The longest series at the highest frequency is posted on the site, so that persons can more conveniently download information on a range of frequently-requested information.
In announcing this change in the presentation, the Bank said that the new format is in keeping with international standards. The statistical information on the website is definitely more user-friendly and much easier to manipulate. The use of Excel, rather than pdf, facilitates maneuverability, and the inclusion of graphs definitely enhances the presentation.
Yet another feature of this enhancement is the more timely publication of the information, as it is uploaded as soon as it becomes available, rather than monthly or annually as occurred in the past.
The data in the Economic and Financial Statistics (EFS) is available in the new format and cover more than 600 variables, pertaining to the monetary authorities, commercial banks, non-bank financial institutions, interest rates, securities, public finance, foreign trade and general statistics. Persons downloading the data can choose variables by selecting the period of interest and/or the preferred frequency, i.e. monthly, quarterly or annually.
And very soon the statistics contained in the Statistical Digest (ASD) and the Balance of Payments (BOP) Survey will be integrated into this format.
Historically, this information was prepared and published in hardcopy in the monthly Economic and Financial Statistics, the Statistical Digest or the Balance of Payments, both of which are produced annually. The Bank has discontinued the hard copy publication of these statistics and instead is publishing all of the statistical information on-line.
