All-Union Central Bureau of Statistics

The All-Union Central Bureau of Statistics (Arabic: الجهاز المركزي لإحصاء عموم الإتِّحاد al-jihāz al-markizī li-iḥṣā’ ‘umūm al-ittiḥād) is the official statistical institution of the Arab Union. It is a state institution that publishes a vast range of statistics, information and other data, providing an essential service to the governmental, non-governmental, public, and commercial/private sectors as well as research institutions and universities. The bureau's existence is mandated by the Constitution of the Arab Union, and as such it operates as an independent agency of the federal government; it is, nonetheless, funded by and thus technically reports to the Ministry of Public Administration.

The bureau has its own headquarters in Jerusalem, and also maintains major offices in Ibrahimia, Cairo and Baghdad, and smaller field offices in virtually every major city in the union, including all capitals of republics and territories. The bureau also has a department attached to the Ministry of Defence, which is responsible for contributing to national statistics by sampling and gathering relevant information about the community of active servicemembers.
