On this World Statistics Day, the Syrian Future Movement renews its commitment to the values of the modern state and emphasizes the importance of statistics as a central tool in building a new Syria—a state of law, institutions, and transparency. This day, designated by the United Nations to be celebrated every five years, embodies the fundamental principles of statistical work: reliability, professionalism, transparency, and innovation. These values are the cornerstone of the Syrian state’s rebuilding after decades of tyranny and misinformation.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that statistics are an important technical science and an essential tool for understanding reality, guiding public policies, and building a society based on knowledge and transparency.
The Syrian Future Movement believes that the transitional phase Syria is undergoing, after decades of tyranny and opacity, requires the re-establishment of modern national institutions, with statistics at the core of their work, to ensure that decisions are made based on accurate facts, not political assessments or narrow interests.
