The new Act relating to official statistics and Statistics Norway (the Statistics Act) was adopted 21 June 2019.

The purpose of the Act is to promote the development, production and dissemination of official statistics with a view to increasing public knowledge and providing a basis for analysis, research, decision-making and general discussion in society. According to section 4 of the Act, a multi-year national programme for official statistics shall be devised that is suitable for fulfilling this purpose.

The first statistical programme was approved by the King in Council on 18 December 2020. The proposed statistical programme is largely based on the proposal by Statistics Norway following consultation with the Committee for Official Statistics, and shall apply to the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2023.
